BRYNNE Edelsten has twoleft feet. The 27-year-oldhas no dance experienceand it shows.

Edelsten is three weeksinto rehearsals for Danc-ing with the Stars and isstruggling to do a simpleroutine with dance partnerArsen Kishishian.

Today, Edelsten has toplay sexy. You’d think thatwould come naturally tosomeone who’s oftenphotographed in skimpyoutfits, but she is provingsurprisingly shy.

Medico Geoffrey Edel-sten reportedly laid out a$1 million bet that his wifewill win the Channel 7dance show. It looks likehe’s lost his money.

‘‘This is a lot more chal-lenging than I thought,’’Brynne says. ‘‘I came inconfident, figuring I coulddo it. Three weeks in andI don’t feel like I’m anybetter than I was the veryfirst week.

‘‘The co-ordination is thebiggest challenge for me.My hips and feet don’tmove at the same time. Ican’t do something withmy hands if I’m trying tomove my hips.’’

Edelsten is set to take oncelebrities includingmodel Lara Bingle, My Kit-chen Rules co-host ManuFeildel, Home and Awayactor Dan Ewing, singerDamien Leith and surferMark Occhilupo.
