Strictly Come Dancing star Susan Calman has said she can be “both a kick ass time travelling lesbian and a bombshell in a dress.”
The comedian added that duality is the joy of taking part in the dancing competition.

She tweeted photographs of herself side by side, one showing her dressed in a suit with a tie and the other in a dress and heels at the launch of Strictly.
She captioned them: “Both of these pictures are of me. I can be both a kick ass time travelling lesbian and a bombshell in a dress. That’s the joy of Strictly.”
The message was liked by Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling.
