Angela – who worked with professional dancer Kai Widdrington – said of life after Strictly: 'I've become stronger, my asthma has improved incredibly as my lung function is clearly better and I've lost a stone in weight.
'I just really enjoyed doing it and even though it was a bit like a boot camp because of the exercises you had to do, I just enjoyed it.'
This led to Angela's friend Gloria saying, “I've decided that Angela is made of titanium… and that's definitely the strength!”
