Kate Garraway received the lowest judge's score every week bar one during her time on Strictly Come Dancing, but that didn’t stop the Good Morning Britain presenter from thinking she could win the show. Kate - who left the competition in the seventh week with dance partner Anton Du Beke - has revealed that she thought she had what it took to win the glitterball trophy because she regularly pulls out impressive moves on the dancefloor at weddings! Speaking in a special Strictly episode on Saturday night, she revealed: "Before I went on to Strictly, I assumed it was going to be me lifting the glitterball because, honestly, after a few drinks at a wedding, I’m amazing. In my head, I was going to be triumphant. And of course, that wasn’t true at all - I was absolutely rubbish."

The 51-year-old mum of two failed to impress the Strictly judges, and Craig Revel Horwood once described her performance as, "Heavy as lead," while Arlene Phillips swiped: "What is it with TV presenters? You don’t look like you’ve got rhythm, is it all that sitting on the couch?" Ouch! Kate and Anton came eighth in the competition, proving that a tipsy dance at a wedding perhaps doesn’t translate so well on the Strictly dance floor.
