BRIT Award winner Olivia Dean is taking Salsa lessons in the hope of making her Strictly<\/a> dreams come true.<\/p>\n The singer who triumphed<\/a> at the Grammys, BRITs and MOBOs this year already, is a huge fan of the BBC<\/a> dance show and would one day love to show off her moves. Olivia told Hits Radio<\/a>: “I’ve been doing salsa lessons recently. Just learning a new skill that’s completely separate from my music and still in music, but not that like, I don’t know, I’m trying to do anything with it.”<\/p>\n However, when pressed as to whether she would go on Strictly as a contestant she responded: “I actually would\u2026 Don’t… I actually would,” however it was a different story for ITV’s I’m a Celeb<\/a>, as it was a definite “No!”<\/p>\n The awards haven’t stopped for Olivia Dean this year(Image: Getty Images)<\/p>\n Dean kicks off a run of huge UK arena shows next week and she’s still coming to terms with her incredible success. Her song Man I Need has been a hit across the world but the singer admits she was convinced it should ever have been a single.<\/p>\n Olivia spilled “(I) wasn’t sure about it.<\/p>\n “‘Man I Need wasn’t supposed to be a single. I wasn’t sure about it, I thought it was a little bit different and then we started playing it in rehearsals, and some of my band were like, ‘this one’s good you know’. And ‘I was like, ‘Yeah’.”<\/p>\n Even while she was recording the song in the studio she didn’t think of it as a hit despite loving the vibe: “I didn’t know if it was representative of the whole album and the story. But I’m glad I followed through with that one.”<\/p>\n Dean launches her UK tour in Glasgow next week(Image: PA)<\/p>\n Dean won four awards at the BRITs including Best Album for The Art Of Loving. Sounds like the star may have a follow-up for that opus already in the works.<\/p>\n “There was definitely loads of songs that didn’t make the album,” she revealed. “But I might still do something with them. I don’t know.”<\/p>\n Perhaps a deluxe edition with bonus material could be winging its way to fans later in the year in time for Christmas<\/a>?<\/p>\n Dean has more new songs ready to release(Image: Gareth Cattermole\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n “I’m really trying to stay in the world of The Art of Loving and thinking about building the show and elaborating on the songs in that way,” she said.<\/p>\n “I’m always writing in my mind in some capacity. But yeah, I will make another album. I might as well.”<\/p>\n Olivia Dean’s tour kicks off in Glasgow on Tuesday followed by dates across the country.<\/p>\n Have you joined Threads?
