Abbey Clancy is a firm favourite with fans of Strictly Come Dancing thanks to her natural grace on the dance floor, but the mum of one has admitted that the gruelling rehearsals have taken their toll on her body.

"My body's failing on me. I've got to find that last bit of stamina and channel it into this dance"

Abbey will perform her showdance - for which her partner Aljaz Skorjanec can choreograph any moves he wishes rather than being tied to a particular style - to the Guns N'Roses hit Sweet Child O' Mine.

And it seems as if the choreography has left her concerned over her abilities.

Speaking with a British newspaper, she said: "I do feel like that now I know the end is in sight, my body's failing on me. I've got to find that last bit of stamina and channel it into this dance.

"We spent about two hours on this one lift. I couldn't stay straight, I kept breaking in the middle, not using my core enough and Aljaz hurt his wrist.

"At one point he said he'd have to take it out, but it's such a spectacular move that's different so hopefully we get it right and he doesn't have to take it out."

Abbey went on: "Everything is really sharp moves and it's draining on your body. After three months of hours and hours of rehearsing, I'm finding it tough.

"The routine's epic, the song's epic. I've got to find that last little bit of strength. I'm excited, I want to do myself proud."

We're sure the determined model-turned-dancer will continue to impress when she takes to the dance floor on Saturday.
