The 34-year-old and her Italian dance partner Gustavo Viglio chose to foxtrot for their first dance and impressed judges Sharna Burgess, Tristan MacManus and Mandy Moore.

But there was no one more impressed with the performance than Chloe’s famous mum, Olivia. 

“Oh my goodness. I’m so proud. I’m so proud, my heart is beating so fast. I’m trying not to cry.

Commenting on Chloe’s dance she said “I loved your love story. It was excellent. I think it’s interesting when you talk about facing your fears. This takes so much courage to come out and do a show like this. My only wish for you is that you enjoy this process, you fall back in love with dancing and music and enjoying yourself and having confidence because you just set yourself up for success in that first dance. Excellent job.”

Judge Sharna was next to comment and said “I loved it from start to finish. You were so beautiful and graceful out there. There is so much potential in the way that you move. I want you in practice to not be afraid to fail.”

Mandy gave 5 points, Sharna 6 and Tristan 7.
