added: 'He’s quite a chilled person whereas I’m disciplined and hard
working - probably too much. He’s more, ‘Let’s have a weekend away’. On

I appreciate him calming me down when I need to, and I get the whip out
when it’s gym time.'
The dancer said she was surprised when Mistry, who she met when they were paired up on the show in 2010, proposed during a romantic break in the new year.
