Magical - Mollie and AJ's Strictly Story

Part 18 - Embarrassing moments

He said he was going to make me fly – I'm not sure if he meant it literally or metaphorically, but I think he might have achieved both. This week has been crazy, and it's only Wednesday at 10am.

Do you know what, Mirror-Mollie, considering what has happened this morning, you are looking shockingly beautiful. You have that sparkle that has nothing to do with glitter and everything to do with magic. Although I do see you cringe when you think back to this morning's antics...

Possibly one of the most embarrassing moments of my whole life – I overslept by 90 minutes. Not such a crime, right? Unless you're due on The Lorraine Show! Oh. My. God.

It's a live show, it's one thing in life that you just can't be late for. The panic when I realised the time and why my phone had been ringing off the hook – my feet have never moved so fast and my heart felt like it was going to burst out of my chest.

AJ held the fort until I got there. This has never happened to me before. I didn't even have time for a wee! I put my make-up on in the car on the way there. I don't think I've ever felt less prepared for anything in my life. Lorraine was laughing about it, I did apologise and then AJ said it was his fault for training me too hard. And of course it was on a day when Dan Wootton from The Sun was there to do the showbiz segment. Second most embarrassing thing to happen today was when Dan made jokes about how AJ and I couldn't be sleeping together and sharing a bed if I'd overslept and he was there on time. Thank goodness AJ laughed about that too. We then said we were just friends (which is still technically true, because we haven't put any other labels on this, even though it's clearly so much more) and talked about how tough the dance off weeks were. Every time they mentioned Aston, I felt a pang of guilt that he left the show and I stayed.

Then we'd finished filming and I found the nearest toilet to finally have that wee. And that's where I am now. And I can hear AJ outside listening to the alarm sound on my phone and laughing...first thing he said when we finished filming was that he was going to change it to one that would make me think, "Wake up now, or you will die!". I think that is probably a good idea.
