Rickie Haywood-Williams admits he almost quit Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special

Radio 1 DJ Rickie ­Haywood-Williams says he wanted to quit the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special because he is a terrible dancer.

The Live Lounge presenter, 42, who has been partnered with Luba Mushtuk, 33, said: “After I watched back our first rehearsal, I was like, ‘how can I get out of this? Is it too late to quit?’.”

He said he was inspired to take part by radio sidekick Melvin Odoom, who won the festive special in 2016.
