Claudia Fragapane says fellow 'Strictly Come Dancing' contestant Louise Redknapp is like a "second mum" to her.

The 19-year-old gymnast is very close to her fellow competitors and joked she is definitely the "baby" of their family.
She said: "Louise is like a second mum to me, which I love. She's beautiful, down to earth and looks after me.
"Ed Balls is the dad of the group. He's so funny and makes me laugh.
"We're like a big family - and I'm the baby. I get spoilt - that's my kind of family."
Claudia - who is partnered with AJ Pritchard - has learned a lot from competing in the show and even thinks the routines and dance moves she's learned will help her in the 2020 Olympics.
She said: "My confidence has grown - I'd never even taken a train on my own until now. It's completely changed me.
"Plus I can take all the dance techniques I've learnt and put them into my gymnastics.
"'Strictly' has inspired me to do the 2020 Olympics now and I'm working towards that. I want to go for gold."
All her extensive training has left Claudia too busy to find a boyfriend, but she insists she's happy to be single.
She told Closer magazine: "I'm too busy for a boyfriend at the moment - I'm training all the time.
"I've got a lot on my plate. But I don't mind, I'm loving every minute of the show.
"My dad joked I was banned from having a boyfriend until I was 25 but he didn't mean it.
"He'll totally support me when I do have one."
And the 4ft 6in star's only love requirement is that a guy is taller than she is.
She laughed: "At my height that isn't hard really - most people are."
