A heart condition forced Graeme Hall to put his dancing shoes away – but, seven years on, the TV star is preparing to return to the dancefloor as a Strictly Come Dancing contestant.
The 59-year-old, who is best known as the dog trainer on Channel 5’s Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly, suffered a stroke in 2019 after which doctors discovered a hole in his heart. Hall underwent an operation to fix the hole, but the diagnosis left him fearing that his dancing days were over.
