Strictly Come Dancing 2011: Alex Jones has been taking tips from One Show colleague Matt Baker

Alex Jones has admitted that her One Show co-host Matt Baker has been inundating her with advice, since she revealed she was joining the Strictly Come Dancing lineup. The Welsh beauty was last night confirmed as one of the thirteen celebrities taking part in the BBC reality TV show and will be joined on the dance-floor by stars such as Jason Donovan, Edwina Currie and Robbie Savage. However she has one advantage over her fellow contestants, we don’t know if she can dance yet, but last year’s runner up Matt Baker has been giving her tips on how to succeed and how he advanced so far on the show. Admitting that she can’t stop the hunk talking about his dancing days, Alex told The Sun: “Matt has not shut up since the day I told him I was taking part. “He has a line of advice for absolutely everything, from what to eat, who to be partnered with, to hopping on one leg for balance. “I go to bed hearing his voice. I think when I’m practising with my partner we’ll see Matt’s head bobbing at the window.” Alex will find out tonight which professional she will be partnered with for the series, and the scenes will be aired in a special episode on Friday night.
