Jane Elliott
Jane is a commissioning manager for the NHS. She lives in Crosby with her partner, Paul, and their two grown-up sons, Jack and Anthony. Jane loves a bit of sparkle and has always wanted to be on Strictly but hasn’t quite found fame yet. So, she’s decided to hit the St. Joseph’s Strictly dancefloor anyway and raise money for a great cause instead.
Jane loves to boogie but has no previous dance experience. She’s up for the challenge though and can’t wait to learn her routine. She’s even hoping it’ll spark and new fitness passion in her. Jane’s favourite Strictly pro is Aliaz and she’s hoping for a Len or Anton style judge on the night.
“Music-wise, I’m hoping for something up-tempo that will get the audience going. I love Prince’s music so that would be amazing!”
Rachel Price
Rachel, from West Kirby, is an account manager for Microsoft. She lives with her partner, Daragh, and their two children, Jack and Ellen. Rachel knows first-hand about the valuable support provided by hospices after losing her brother Mark in 2022. So, she is taking on our Strictly challenge to raise money so that other families can access the support that they did.
Rachel used to dance as a child and loved taking part in shows so she is hoping it all comes flooding back to her. She loves watching Strictly on TV, especially all the glitz and glamour of the Blackpool Ballroom! Her favourite pro dancer is Anton and she’s hoping for a Shirley style judge on the night.
“I love 80’s music and can’t wait to learn my routine. Most of all, I’m looking forward to meeting my fellow dancers and supporting the hospice”.
