My son's buddy, the wildlife presenter, Steve Backshall has just been announced as a contestant on Strictly.

He is a thoroughly nice young man with a very nice physic - need I say more. wink Don't know what his dancing is like though.

Not sure if I have spelt physic right. hmm

Physic definition, a medicine that purges; cathartic; laxative

Perhaps you meant physique.
Oh yes, I will be watching ...... grin

Me too always a sucker for Strictly

NanKate Tue 26-Aug-14 21:29:27

Thanks Rose Steve is definitely not a laxative, more of a stimulant shock to ladies a lot younger than me.

Him getting bitten by the Caiman is one of my favourite bits of TV grin GS1 thinks he's great!

Just wondering why he wants to do it though? Perhaps you could ask him. It doesn't seem his thing, dressing up in tight, glittery lycra. He seems more the outdoors, manly hero type to me.

Looking forward to Strictly, and Steve Backshall... he's lovely.

I wonder too Rose I suspect his agent will have persuaded him that all publicity is good. I shall ask my DS to ask him the next time they speak and get it from the horse's mouth so to speak.

Love your acronym Henetha very clever.

Free dance lessons from some of the elite in dance teaching - and getting paid for it as well! Getting fit, there seems to be a lot of fun involved as well not to mention, as you have, publicity. Not a lot of reasons not to imo - best programme on television smile

Just so long as you are not going to exhort us to vote for him every week (unless he is brilliant of course)!! grin

Do we know who else is on apart from Judy Murray?
