On 8th March I put on my dancing shoes and grabbed my friend Emma and headed up to Wembley Arena for a marathon dance session, a danceathon if you will.

All of this was in aid of comic relief. It was a 6 hour slog, changing styles every 30 minutes. The instructors who led each section were amazing and kept everyone going. I was particularly grateful for the diva session which came just as I was really flagging and regretting signing up about half way through. With the help of Britney, Beyonce, Xtina and friends as well as the only dance instructor I've ever seen wear a suit to teach in I got through that half hour and felt more energised.

A favourite moment from the day came during the bashment (no that is not a misspelling of basement like some of my unnamed friends thought. For those who have never heard of it before, it's Jamaican dance hall music.) section. The instructor's microphone kept failing and deafening everyone. A sound person ran on and tried to fix it but it was no good. After yet more ear splitting crackling noises the instructor had to run off leaving us and the stage full of celebrities left unsure what to do. It was at that point Rufus Hound stepped forward and improvised a routine for us all to follow. It was hilarious. You can see a bit of it in the video above.

I wore my Jawbone Up24 step tracker that day and was informed that by the end of the day I'd hit 20 miles worth of movement! On the train home I ate a KFC Big Daddy meal and for the first time in my life I've already burnt off the calories I was shovelling in my mouth.

The whole thing was exhausting but totally worth it. I had a great time, did some exercise and raised £265 for comic relief.
