Quote

I don't like the Samba it's nonsense. With a lot of these Latin dances I can't really understand what they're all about. I like the Rumba and the Paso Doble but the others I could take or leave.

My goal is to be the best TV presenter, the best entertainer, the best singer. I still want to be the best dancer. I want to be the best at everything I do.

Sadly, it has often been said that my rear is better than my front, so thank you very much indeed.

I'm a bit of a traditionalist the ballroom is all about tails and I never mess about with that. But for the Latin you can have a bit fun: tight trousers, gold shirt open to my waist, be a bit ridiculous.

With the media how it is these days, people expect to know everything. I don't talk about my girlfriend because essentially she doesn't want to be talked about.

I like to get up and get out. Otherwise you end up kicking about, and it's easy to flick the telly on then before you know it, it is 11 A.M. and you haven't done anything.

My only drive was to be the best dancer in the world, but I never won the world championship.

My perfect morning is spent drinking coffee, eating porridge and reading the paper at a local cafe.
