Strictly star Luba Mushtuk has announced she will be spending Christmas Day alone.
Appearing on Loose Women today (December 22), the professional dancer, 36, explained that she was looking forward to some me-time.
Her Christmas Day plans come as she also appears on the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special.
She will be partnered alongside EastEnders star Nicholas Bailey for the festive special.

Speaking on ITV daytime programme Loose Women, Luba said she was going to be bowing out of any significant festivities.
“I am painting my walls, by choice, on my own,” she said. “Having a lovely time, I think some people would love actually to do what I will do.”
However, Luba isn’t sad to be spending Christmas on her own. In fact, she added she was relishing the big day away from the hustle and bustle.
“But I am embracing it,” she said, “I just felt like I need some time on my own, have some ice cream, watch some movies and paint my walls!”
And the rest of the Loose Women cast seemed to envy Luba’s quiet festive plans. “I’m just looking at you and thinking that sounds so lovely,” Nadia Sawalha said.
