She might not have won it, but Teesside’s own Strictly star has done us proud.
Last night Anna Kennedy missed out on being crowned the winner of BBC 1’s The People’s Strictly, when it was revealed that former Royal Marine medic Cassidy Little had won the public vote.
Six contestants had taken to the dance floor to perform for the judges and the viewers’ votes on Wednesday night.
Middlesbrough mum and autism champion, Anna Kennedy, had been left jumping up and down in excitement when she scored a perfect 40 on a Comic Relief version of the hit show.
But despite Anna and partnerprofessional British dancer Robin Windsor impressing the four notoriously hard-to-please judges, the decisive public vote saw former Cassidy Little come out on top to win The People’s Strictly for Comic Relief.Anna, who has two sons, Patrick, 25, who has Asperger’s Syndrome and Angelo, 21, with autism, became teary during Wednesday’s show when she told of how much fun she was having - something she admitted she finds hard to do.
Anna was chosen as one of six “inspirational but everyday heroes”, from more than 11,000 nominees, to take part in BBC One’s The People’s Strictly for Comic Relief.
