The Welsh Ballroom Dancer

**Spoiler**

A few months ago, I blogged about Katherine Jenkins, a Welsh singer, who was on Dancing with the Stars. I blogged about it because she was in an episode of Doctor Who, and we all know how I feel about Doctor Who.

I watched a few episodes, and she was a naturally good dancer. Even though Katherine was relatively unknown here in the United States, she came in second! Not bad for a Welsh opera singer not many Americans had even heard of a few months ago.

She said about her experience, "It's just been brilliant." I love the way Brits use that word. Brilliant!

Sidenote: Benedick Cumberbatch (BBC's Sherlock) wished her luck. Yes, Sherlock Holmes was rooting for Katherine. *wink*

Doctor Who and Dancing With the Stars Connection

I never thought I would ever say that.

However, there is a "star" on the new Dancing With the Stars who was in an episode of Doctor Who.

Katherine Jenkins, a Welsh singer, played Abigail in A Christmas Carol, Matt Smith's first Christmas special as the Doctor.


She isn't well known here in the states, but I hope she does well.

I like ballroom dancing, but I don't particularly like watching it when one partner is good and the other is... not so good, so I seldom watch Dancing With the Stars. However, I watched it last night to see Katherine Jenkins.

Katherine did a nice job, and she looked so pretty and bright in that nice yellow dress.


Most of the other stars did a pretty good job too, but does that mean I'll keep watching? Who knows? But I don't think so.
