‘I don’t know if I’ll be attempting any duck walks and death drops anytime soon, but hey, I tried!’ she added.
The dance, inspired by the poses of models in fashion magazines, rose out of the LGBTQ Harlem ballroom cultures.

It comes as rumours swirl about whether Melissa and fellow judge Andy Allen will be returning to the cooking show next year in the wake of co-star Jock Zonfrillo’s shock death.
According to Woman’s Day, the judges could both walk away as they are a ‘package deal’.

Andy and Melissa are still in negotiations about the next season of the show and will either stay or leave together.
‘Andy and Mel are still in negotiations at the moment and they come as a two package deal so if they both decide to walk, they’ll need some big names to fill in,’ a source said.
‘And rather than getting a traditional line-up of three judges, execs are looking at having a pool of superstar names to judge each week.’
The publication claimed Jamie Oliver, Curtis Stone, Shannon Bennett, Poh Ling Yeow and Julie Goodwin have been approached to appear on the next season.
