Strictly Come Dancing - John Sergeant is dancing for his wife
Friday, 29 August 2008
John Sergeant might not be a natural dancer but he is determined that he will make his wife proud.
He told MyParkmag: "I thought it was about time that I did something a bit absurd… My wife is a huge fan of Strictly Come Dancing and thinks I'm going to be terrible, but I'm looking forward to the ballroom so I can feel taller and slimmer in the Latin heels!"
