OHMYGOSSIP — Katie McGlynn has quit partying ahead of her ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ stint.
The 28-year-old actress was seen enjoying a boozy night out at The Ivy in Manchester in July, but she’s now vowed to get herself in tip-top physical shape ahead of ‘Strictly’.
A pal told The Sun newspaper: “Katie is a young woman and loves going out with her pals.
“But those pictures weren’t great for her look and she was warned against doing anything which could hamper her chances on ‘Strictly’.
“She is totally focused on the show. Instead of partying, Katie has become a gym junkie and is working out three times a week. Katie knows how physically taxing ‘Strictly’ can be.”
Katie has been inspired by the success of fellow soap star Maisie Smith, who wowed on ‘Strictly’ last year.
And the actress can’t wait to take to the dance floor.
Her pal added: “She saw the success of ‘EastEnders’ Maisie Smith last year when she got to the final. She wants to continue to fly the flag for soap stars on ‘Strictly’.”
Last year, Katie revealed she’d been encouraged to star on ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’.
The actress admitted before joining ‘Strictly’ that she’d thought about appearing on the ITV show.
She shared: “Do you know what I get asked about the jungle a lot … I love camping, I’m a bit of a tom boy at heart, of day. I don’t mind getting dirty, I don’t mind all that kind of thing, bugs don’t bother me. All my friends say you’d be brilliant at it, because they think I’d surprise people.
“It’s the people I couldn’t deal with. Living with peoples who are up their own bottom doesn’t sound that appealing! I couldn’t deal with the egos. I’d be more scared of the people than the bugs!”
