Alex Kingston’s daring career before Strictly

Before gracing the dance floor on Strictly Come Dancing, Alex Kingston had a career filled with bold and daring choices. The acclaimed actress, best known for her roles in Doctor Who and ER, began her journey in the entertainment industry with unconventional beginnings—including nude modelling and risqué performances.

A Daring Start

Long before her television fame, Kingston worked as a life model, posing nude for art classes to make ends meet. "It was liberating," she once admitted, reflecting on her early days. "Artists see the human form differently—it wasn’t about titillation, but about capturing something raw and real."

From Art to Acting

Her transition into acting saw her embracing equally bold roles. Kingston became known for playing strong, sensual women, including her breakout performance in the racy TV drama Moll Flanders. "I’ve never shied away from complex, passionate characters," she said. "If a role demands vulnerability or sensuality, I’ll give it everything."

Strictly’s Sophisticated Star

Now, as she prepares to dazzle on Strictly Come Dancing, fans are eager to see how her fearless approach translates to the ballroom. Will her confidence and charisma earn her the Glitterball Trophy? Only time will tell.
