Newsreader Kate Silverton has said she wants to use her Strictly Come Dancing turn as a platform to raise awareness about children’s mental health.
BBC anchor Silverton studied psychology at the University of Durham and her experiences as a mother of two children have encouraged her to train as a children’s counsellor.
Ahead of her first appearance on the TV dancing competition tonight, the journalist was asked if she was excited for viewers to see a different side of her personality.
