The model opened up to Lorraine Kelly about her time on The Masked Dancer.

Dita starred on the ITV compeтιтion back in 2021 and dressed as a beetroot in a green and purple dress with a mask the shape of the vegetable. 

She revealed to Lorraine how she had suffered with vertigo from riding a mechanical bull and subsequently found dancing on the show difficult.

Dita said: ‘I had vertigo from riding my mechanical bull, I was riding my mechanical bull, swinging my head around and I triggered a vertigo thing and it was a problem for a year so I’m doing The Masked Dancer with this head and the lights on the floor were crazy, it was outrageous.

‘It was one of the biggest challenges of my life but it was funny and I loved it,’ the dancer added.

The show was filmed during the Covid pandemic and Dita stayed at Claridges during the filming. 

Dita said: ‘It was my favourite, besides doing the show and laughing throughout, it was right when the pandemic started and it was a full lockdown here and I was the only guest at Claridges.’

She enjoyed a mostly empty H๏τel and ‘special treatment’ during her stay.

‘I had it all to myself, I’d come wafting down that staircase in the mornings in my nightgown. There were like five people working there and I just had special treatment and they were like sure, you can stay there, because I’m a friend of the H๏τel,’ Dita added.

Lorraine said: ‘That’s just another level of glamour and gorgeousness’ whilst Dita joked, ‘When my life flashes before my eyes, it will be me at Claridges.’
