Ann Widdecombe flies through the air with the greatest of ease

In just over an hour, Ann Widdecombe will make Strictly history by being the first celebrity (and the second dancer after Flavia Cacace) to "fly" into Anton's arms at the start of their Tango.

I can't wait to see it, but, to whet our appetites, those nice people behind the BBC's Strictly Twitter account have given us a photograph of Ann in the dress rehearsal.

She's a braver woman than I, that's all I'm saying. For that alone, she deserves to stay in this week.
