VISCOUNTESS Emma Weymouth has posed outside historic Longleat House and opened up about the "mad, surreal" Strictly Come Dancing experience.
The 33-year-old socialite and chef was paired with professional Aljaz Skorjanec during Saturday's launch show.
She told Hello! magazine: "I knew that I was going to get a tall boy, because I'm 5ft 8, but every time I talked about it I felt nervous.
"I'm really thrilled they've put us together, Aljaz is a brilliant, hard working dancer and I'm so excited to be taught by somebody who has got such incredible experience.
"We get on, our personalities match, and it will be good to train with someone who has a similar energy and sense of humour.
"I'm just going to train as much as I can and work really hard. I don't want to let anyone down, either my partner or myself.
"It's terrifying to dance on a professional dance floor in front of those judges and a live audience and the rest of the world. I wish I knew what to expect. I just feel lucky to be doing it all."
Emma, who lives in the impressive Longleat House within Longleat Safari Park with her husband Ceawlin Thynn, previously pledged to work as hard as she can to make herself the best dancer possible, saying: "Just get on with it. That's a life motto. But I'm still going to be nervous.
"I'm just going to train as much as I can and work really hard. I don't want to let anyone down, either my partner or myself.
"It's terrifying to dance on a professional dance floor in front of those judges and a live audience and the rest of the world. I wish I knew what to expect.
"I really don't know what to expect. I just feel lucky to be doing it all."
Meanwhile, Strictly viewers were left shocked on Saturday after reigning champ Kevin Clifton was paired with Anneka Rice, 60.
As they hugged, viewers immediately noticed the height difference between the pair, with Anneka taller than her pro partner.
Many thought this, coupled with Anneka revealing dancing makes her feel "humiliated and awkward, would go against the pair.
