Last week found me stuck in a studio rehearsing like a wild person, hour after hour. But what was I rehearsing for?... Something that I never thought I would be rehearsing for again since the days of entering talent shows at school - a dance routine!...

When I got a call asking me if I wanted to be dressed as a skeleton at this year's Glastonbury & dance behind Kate Nash during the skeleton song I squealed with delight, having been good friends with Kate for a couple of years I thought it was a genius plan of hers to ensure all her chums got to come to Glasto with her & had visions of us all jumping up  & down, skipping around the stage having the best fun, similar to what we do when we're at her gigs or dancing in her living room! BUT, I realised when I got to the rehearsal studio last week that I was in fact quite wrong and that we were expected to produce a seriously impressive dance routine!??? I quite frankly, shat myself.... At the end of the day, I don't mind shaking my thang at a disco, but not so hot on the whole structured '5,6,7,8' type of routine.

"Don't you dare back out, just focus and learn it" Said Kate when I rang and expressed my concerns.

So there I was Friday morning, one of my best friend's was getting ready to open the pyramid stage at Glastonbury. It felt like her wedding and we were the weird skeleton bridesmaids... The sense of fear had left me & was replaced with pride. I will admit I had a little tear when I saw the thousands of people that had got up to come to sing along at 10.30am (ish). By the time it was time for my skeleton dancing debut, I was thoroughly in the swing of things & giggled my way through a whole '5,6,7,8' routine, dressed in a white afro wig, top hat and skeleton jumpsuit. I'm so glad I didn't back out, it was sooooo much fun!

P.S I then got on the train back to London, did my Big Ears show, where I was astonished to be discussing Dennis spitting in Mo's face....& John McCririck was in the studio.... then I went home for some sleep & got back on the train to Glasto the next morning, to watch Amy Winehouse and Jay Z!!!!!!! - I've had an amazing weekend, my body is aching though.
