Kristina 'looks up to' corset-loving Dita
December 30, 2008 
Strictly Come Dancing professional Kristina Rihanoff has revealed that she would love to follow the example of Dita Von Teese by donning a corset and performing a burlesque act.
Kristina has partnered with a number of famous contestants over her years on the show and for the latest series she danced with the improbably popular John Sergeant.
The 31-year-old platinum blonde is used to donning sexy outfits for her routines, but she admits that she would love to go one step further and try burlesque.
Dita is famous for whittling down her waist using a selection of burlesque corsets, which she proceeds to strip off in exuberant fashion and Kristina says that the raven-haired beauty is an inspiration to her.
"I love Dita and think it's so cool what she does. It's definitely something I'd love to do. I'd love to strip off and try burlesque," she told the News of the World.
However, Kristina did not recommend burlesque for John.
"Burlesque would be one step too far for him," she said.
