Les Dennis was the last to be confirmed for the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing. The 69-year-old Family Fortunes star spoke about his excitement and terror when he appeared on Good Morning Britain to announce his participation in the show. He shared that despite having a knee replacement two years ago, he was eager to take on the challenge.
However, Les admitted he was having difficulty with the hip action that is a part of the Latin numbers. He confessed that he was having difficulty getting up after the initial rehearsal and that he had been getting fitter over the past month in preparation.
The former Coronation Street actor let slip that he was joining the show before the announcement when he tweeted a playlist titled ‘Strictly by Les Dennis’. When the official announcement was made, Les said he was thrilled to be taking part and that it was a great challenge. He added that it was the ultimate challenge for him as he was about to turn 70.
Les is no stranger to dancing, as he has starred in many West End productions such as Hairspray, Legally Blonde, Only Fools And Horses The Musical, Chicago and The Addams Family.
Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC One and iPlayer on Saturday, September 16 at 6:35pm. It will be exciting to see Les take on the challenge and it is sure to be a great series.
