Kristina opened up about Strictly

Chatting to HELLO!, she said: "I think if the opportunity presented, I'd love to do like a Christmas special. You know, Christmas special, Children in Need... I'll probably be going onto It Takes Two and doing some commentating on the show so, yeah it's always going to be my kind of, very much, like my favourite environment and favourite show. It's just impossible to do a job like that nowadays for sort of, five, six months of intense work and being away from the family."

Speaking about whether she missed the show, she continued: "I miss Strictly and I will always be a very big fan of the show, you know to have wonderful eight years. But [when] you become a mum and you just grow with the change and you want different things and so on. The show is always going to be my favourite one to watch, it's going to be incredible to see the new cast and new dancers and see what they do. I guess what I miss the most is literally the group dances because that's what I love doing more than anything on the show, it's very different kind of, to when I joined ... it's always going to be the best and the biggest show on TV there's no doubt about it."
