On Good Morning Britain, the actress told viewers: “I’m terrified. We start rehearsing in March for a week then we’re straight into live shows.
“Like the jungle, I’ve reached 60 and I decided I’m not saying no to anything, I’m not going to let fear stand in my way.
“I’ve got confidence in myself, I’ve understood myself and I just don't care what anyone else thinks. I’ve hit 60 and I decided I’m moving forward. I’m excited for what’s to come.”
