"There was even some changes made to a routine at 4am while on a break at the Euro Tunnel to our DC Angels routine which paid off as the team came first place and were division winners."

The members of the squad train 13 hour or more a week and are coached by Tia Grant and Mariah Bartley.

The squad is also always looking for new recruits.

She added: "They can join at all levels, even if you can't do a roly poly. It is not just about tumbling."
