LOOSE Women star Kaye Adams is worried about being knocked out of Strictly because she’s Scottish.
The TV personality said people from Scotland are “just not used to being that expressive.”
Adams, 59, will be joining Strictly Come Dancing this season, which starts next month.
She told The Mirror: “Other people have cultures that are more dance-based, movement-based.
“We do Scottish country dancing, chucking each other around.
“I’m not going to blame everything on being Scottish but I think we’re just not used to being expressive.”

Adams also said she knows she could be dropped during the first week, but that doesn’t matter.
She said: “I’m worried it’s going to look tragic, a woman of my age – the whole thing about trying to appear dancey when you’re older.
“There’s absolutely no shame being voted out in the first week. My goal is to try to enjoy it.
“I am terrified. Everything in me wanted to say no. If I enjoy it, it will be a success.”

And it’s not just that – she wants a gay dance partner.
She told The Mirror: “I don’t want a heterosexual.
“I would feel embarrassed for them – because a young, hot heterosexual will be like he’s dancing with his mum.
“But if I got a nice gay guy, he’ll be fine with dancing with his mum.”
Kaye Adams is among six others who’ve signed up to Strictly, including Paralympic athlete Ellie Symonds.
Symonds, 27, is the first Paralympian ever to appear on the show, at 4ft tall.
Her unusual height is down to a type of dwarfism called achondroplasia – a rare genetic condition causing stunted bone growth and shortened limbs.
A source said: “Ellie is a real Strictly fan and has been in the studios to watch the live show.
“She can’t wait to get started in rehearsals this month.”
