LONDON, ENGLAND, March 10, 2011 (Press-News.org) As part of her preparations, Strictly Come Dancing winner Kara was taken to London Zoo to learn more about some of the creatures she would encounter.
'I don't love snakes and spiders. But we held a big snake, so I guess I conquered my fear of that,' explains Kara, who was joined by eight other celebrities for the trek, including Lorraine Kelly, Scott Mills and Olly Murs.
Also in this week's TV Choice, we've got a run down of what to expect from Comic Relief, including Miranda Hart in the MasterChef kitchen, while Ant & Dec undertake a unique TV challenge.
