How cute was Willie Thorne on tonight’s Strictly Come dancing? I expected a big bumbling buffon, stomping around the dancefloor.

Instead Willie was light on his feet, and moved with an elegance you couldn’t have expected. For such a big man, he seemed so shy and so unassuming. I just wanted to pinch his chubby cheeks and tell him he was great.

I hope he lasts at least a few weeks in this new SCD series!
