Strictly Come Dancing - Andrew Castle needs help
Thursday, 28 August 2008
GMTV presenter Andrew Castle is hoping to do well on the new series of Strictly Come Dancing.
The former tennis star isn't afraid to ask for help and has been asking his GMTV buddies for tips.
Andrew explains: "I don't usually dance for fear of being categorised as an embarrassing dad, but I'm getting tips from Fiona Phillips and Kate Garraway who have both said that this show was the best thing that they have ever done in their lives."

Everything you need to know about Andrew Castle
Andrew is very much a housewives' favourite. The retired British tennis player is currently seen in households across the country each morning as he co-hosts ITV1's GMTV.
The former British number one in both singles and doubles became professional in 1986 and later a key member of the BAFTA-nominated BBC tennis team covering Wimbledon, The Artois Championships at Queen's Club, The French Open, Australian Open and The Davis Cup.
Andrew will be dancing with Ola Jordan
Polish born, Aleksandra (Ola), with her husband James, is also once again taking part in Strictly Come Dancing.
She and James have been dancing professionally since 2000 and first took part in Strictly Come Dancing series four.
Ola feels her style is "sweet and quiet in the beginning and then I'll be much stronger once I get to know my celebrity. If they need a kick, I would give them that. I'm not afraid to be nasty if that's what it takes."
