Nadia Bartel is set to shake a tail feather on the new season of Dancing with the Stars.
And now the former ex-AFL WAG has revealed that taking part in the Channel Seven hit is anything but a walk in the park.
‘Training is much harder than I thought it would be and it’s been a bit of a juggle trying to fit it in with my schedule with the boys and work, but I’m loving it,’ she told the Herald Sun on Sunday.
Nadia, who shares two sons with ex-husband Jimmy Bartel, went on to reveal what attracted her to the show.
‘I have always watched the show and love the passion and commitment of all of the dancers,’ she told the publication.
