“It is new to me, I am learning. I'm working with Pasha to try to understand the mechanics and how they move their bodies," she added.

“And again, I got asked to be here and I'm so grateful to be here, I really, really am so I just go out there, do my best, show people I'm passionate to be here. The rest is out of my hands.”

A lack of public votes saw Roberts and her professional partner Pasha Kovalev in the bottom two last Saturday night despite scoring an impressive 36 points.
