I am so excited to be taking part in Strictly Best Foot forward for Bury Hospice in 2026. Anyone who knows me already knows I am the guy who disappears the second a dance floor lights up. I have absolutely zero rhythm, no flexibility, and my hips move like they were built out of old car parts.

The truth is I have wanted to learn to dance properly for years, but I have always bottled it. Now I am throwing myself in at the deep end for a cause that genuinely matters.

There is also a bit of friendly competition here. I taught last years winner Adam Lewis to drive, so I cannot let him have all the glory. If he can lift a trophy, surely I can at least manage a basic step without falling over. Maybe.

Bury Hospice is seriously underfunded and every single tenner makes a huge difference. If you can spare something, even the cost of a coffee, it will go straight toward helping local families who really need it.

Thanks for supporting me and let us see if I can actually learn to dance without breaking a limb. 🙃💙

It costs £4.8million pounds to run Bury Hospice, and as a charity they only receive 13% of this figure from the government leaving us to raise all of the majority ourselves. Every donation makes a difference.
