I’m delighted - (I think), to be taking part in this year's Strictly Come Dancing for the amazing Seashell Trust, at their ball on Saturday 16th May 2026. Albeit a little nervous, as more used to spreadsheets than chassés.

Seashell is incredibly close to our family, and we have been associated with this wonderful charity for many years. We have seen first-hand the life-changing support they provide to children and young adults with complex disabilities and additional needs, and I’m so proud to be raising more valuable funds to support their vital work.

I’m never far from a bit of sparkle and sequins, and I can’t resist a challenge with a few giggles along the way! So it’s such an honour to learn a completely new skill — I’ve always wanted to Paso Doble (with a tango hand twist) — and I’m hoping to bring plenty of energy, determination and maybe even a little dazzle to the dance floor, even with a dodgy knee!

As a mum of three and the “baby” of the Mason Clan, I would love nothing more than to make my family proud and, with your support and encouragement, maybe even lift the Strictly trophy for the Mason family!

Every donation, no matter the size, will help Seashell continue their incredible work and will mean the world to me as I dance my heart out on the big night.

Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity and encouragement — I’m definitely going to need it as let me tell you, busting some moves on the dance floor is far cry from a choreographed ballroom piece!!!!

Pray for Tash (& Chris my very patient dance partner)!
