Former Strictly Come Dancing competitor Joe Calzaghe, has admitted that he is hoping to pursue a movie career for himself.

Calzaghe, hopes to emulate the success of ex-footballer turned actor, Vinnie Jones.

“I’m not in the gym every day like I used to be so I’ve got a bit of time on my hands,” he told The Sun.

“I want to give the acting a go, why not? Vinnie’s done really well for himself, there’s no reason why I can’t.”
