Strictly: Zara joke about Angela Rippon’s WhatsApp messages
Strictly Come Dancing’s Zara McDermott has revealed that Angela Rippon signs off all her WhatsApp messages with her initials despite being possibly the most famous person taking part this year.
“Do you know what I love? Angela Ripon signs off every message AR,” the former Love Island star said.
“I think it’s fantastic because I’ve got your number saved babes, I know who’s texting me,”
She made the revelation while discussing the contestants WhatsApp groups with the official Strictly Come Dancing Podcast.
“We’ve got a Strictly group chat and unofficial strictly chat,” she admitted explaining that the production team weren’t in the unofficial group where the celebrities could share their woes.

“Some of us you know if our feet are hurting, we just send pictures of our blisters in,” she confessed.
“You know what, it’s actually a really lovely group. We all send in motivational quotes and voice notes to each other. It’s actually really nice,” she intimated.
The WhatsApp group consists of this year’s celebrity line-up of Zara and Angela, Layton Williams, Angela Scanlon, Adam Thomas, Annabel Croft, Bobby Brazier, Amanda Abbington, Eddie Kadi, Krishnan Guru-Murthy, Ellie Leach, Nigel Harman and Les Dennis.

Judges had heaps of praise for her efforts, which Craig Revel Horwood branded “jaw-dropping”. The pair scored a total of 29 out of 40 points, putting them in a joint second place on the leaderboard.
However for her efforts Zara ended up third from bottom with just 19 points. Top of the leaderboard after the opening show is Nigel Harman whose dramatic Paso Doble scored an impressive 32 points.
