However, she added that she couldn't see it happening for a while, explaining: "We're just doing what we're doing right now." Amy also chatted about meeting the royal fans of the show, and opened up about the Countess of Wessex and Lady Louise's visit to the show in 2018. "I didn't get to meet Sophie Wessex but of course danced in front of her and Louise," she said. "Also I've been lucky enough to go to the palace the year before with Camilla which was special. She was lovely and they are Strictly fans which is like 'wow!'. She said they watched it."
