Prior to appearing on Strictly, Rainford talked about her approach to the show in an interview with BBC One. She says that she didn’t want to put too much pressure on herself to be perfect and just enjoy herself on the show. “I can be a perfectionist. So trying not to stress too much about one specific thing, and worry about the overall product. I've heard from others that simplicity is key.”

5. She Goes To The Beach

Rainford loves to spend time by the water. She and her Strictly co-star, Fleur East, decided to take a beach vacation together to Barbados. Rainford shared this photo on Instagram of the two of them by the water. She captioned it, “From the ballroom to the beach.” MedIndia reports that going to the beach can have a positive impact on your mindset and wellbeing. “Listening to the waves crash against the shore calms brain activity, and the color blue offers a sense of relaxation, serenity, and peace, thereby releasing hormones such as dopamine and serotonin to reduce your stress levels. So, make sure to wash away your stress levels at the seaside.”
