Anton Du Beke has shared some Strictly secrets and why he is "happy" not to participate in the group dances after more than 18 years on the show.
The TV star, 55, who stood in for judge Bruno Tolioni for the 2021 series, claimed as the years went by he got pushed further and further back on stage, with the hunkier "tattooed" pros placed in front.
Anton said the male dancers would show off their muscular physiques in tight vests, while he ended "so far back I was chatting to the orchestra".
