Stress is taking its toll on Moll

POP star Mollie King is no stranger to performing in front of massive crowds – but she says she’s terrified of messing up her debut routine on Strictly.

The former Saturdays singer, 30, is tipped by bookies to be one of the finalists. Even the show’s most sharp-tongued judge, Craig Revel Horwood, declared her to be the contestant with the potential to lift the Glitterball Trophy.

But Mollie, who is partnered with AJ Pritchard, 22, is still quaking at the thought of her debut.

“It is totally scary being on one of the biggest shows on TV,” she said. “I would be gutted if I went out in the first few weeks.

“I want to get to the halfway point. I am very competitive.”
