Incredible Paralympian Lauren tells how her ageing grandma recognised her in a rare moment as she danced romantic routine on TV
Paralympian Lauren Steadman barely recognised herself as she waltzed across the Strictly ballroom in a pink dress, making her nervous debut last Saturday night.
Yet nearly 100 miles away, in front of the TV in her care home in Peterborough, her nan, Jackie — these days increasingly lost in a fog of dementia — knew instantly that the dancer on-screen was her beautiful granddaughter.

Re: Lauren Steadman
Even though her family had not told her Lauren was competing on the show.
The knowledge that she brought joy to 72-year-old Jackie’s world, if just for a fleeting moment, means more to Lauren than any judge’s score.

Re: Lauren Steadman
The athlete’s intense training for this month’s ITU World Series, where she won gold in the paratriathlon in Australia — leaving her just two days on her return to rehearse for her first Strictly routine — has meant she’s been parted from her nan for four months.
But next week, she and dance partner AJ Pritchard will transfer training to Peterborough, so she can spend much-needed time with her.
Though it seems the pair may have a little explaining to do... as Jackie also made another observation last Saturday and is convinced they’re a couple.

Re: Lauren Steadman
“She went: ‘I saw Lauren on TV, and she’s very much in love with that boy. They’re in love — I know when people are in love’,” Lauren laughs.
The 25-year-old begins practising her protestations in earnest on me when we meet ahead of her second Strictly turn tonight.
“We are both single,” she concedes, of she and AJ.
“We do get on well. But I don’t expect there to be any romance – I know myself. I’ve had such a good year this year. I’m very focussed on sport, I have the Tokyo Paralympics coming up.
“Right at this moment in time, if I lost a gold in Tokyo because I had a boyfriend then quite a few people would look at me and say, ‘Um – did you make the right choice?’.”
