I’m not saying the persona on ‘Strictly’ isn’t me – it’s just that the nurturing side, which is also a part of who I am, isn’t what I’m there for. I’m there to judge and to give an honest opinion, even if it’s not the opinion someone wants to hear.

I’ve said no to ‘Celebrity Big Brother,’ ‘Strictly,’ and the American one, ‘Dancing With The Stars.’ I don’t feel it’s right for me. I’ve been asked to do reality TV a zillion times. No way. No way. Nobody’s going to get into my living room and see me there.
I’ve always felt like there’d be pressure if I ever did ‘Strictly.’

Epic poetry exhibits life in some great symbolic attitude. It cannot strictly be said to symbolize life itself, but always some manner of life.

I’ve always presented as a very cisgender male and that was part of the reason I was able to cover so easily… I was always in such a strictly binary environment growing up. I was never given an opportunity to sort of play into more genderqueer fashion.
If someone’s in tears or they’re leaving the show, it’s hard not being able to physically reach out.

Much as I’m loving the ‘Strictly’ experience, I’m sure I’ll always be better known for my business career and my appearances on ‘Dragons’ Den’ than I will for my cha-cha-cha or Viennese waltz.

‘Strictly’ has taught me that activity outside work is good for my mental health.
