This brunette beauty may be confident in front of the camera, but Playing For Keeps star Olympia Valance admits she has her work cut out for her in 2019 as she begins her Dancing with the Stars journey.

While she’s busy juggling her role as L’Oréal Professionnel ambassador and acting on screen, Valance says she’s always considered entering the reality TV show.

“If I was going to do any reality show, it was going to be a dancing show – at least I’ll be learning a skill,” she tells WHO.

And it appears the 26-year-old confided in her sister, former pop star Holly Valance, 35, for some advice before she cemented her decision.

“Well, Holly had been on Strictly Come Dancing in the UK, which is basically Dancing with the Stars – it’s the same concept. She got to the 11th show. I asked her how it was and she goes, ‘F---en’ hard!’

Thank you for being the best dance partner a girl could dream of @jarrydbyrne. Thank you for always putting a smile on my face, even when I don't feel like smiling myself. You have made this experience so much fun for me, and for that, I am so grateful 💃🏾🕺🏽@dancingon10 #TeamOlympiaAndJarryd

In hindsight, Valance agrees with her older sister.

“She said it was really hard, she said it was fun. And she’s right, it is really hard, but it’s also so much fun.”

And her boyfriend, fellow actor Luke Bracey, 29 – who she prefers to stay mum about – is one of her biggest fans.

Pretty stoked with my Valentine🤴🏼❤️👸🏽

“He’s very supportive. I’m very happy,” she shyly tells WHO.

As the relationship is still new, she’s keen to steer the conversation back to the competition.

One of the biggest challenges for Valance has been her pre-existing injuries...

For her full interview, be sure to pick up the new issue of WHO.
