Strictly Come Dancing:Jimmy Tarbuck Will Dance Again

October 15th, 2006 by Lisa McGarry. Tags: , ,

Comedian Jimmy Tarbuck was unable to take part in this weeks Strictly Come Dancing show due to health problems. An article in The People today claimed that the 66-year-old comic had been taken to hospital during the week after doctors discovered a heart murmur reportedly brought on by the TV show’s daunting training routines.

However a BBC spokesperson commented: “He’s hoping to be back next week performing the tango.”

A source had told the tabloid that Jimmy was a victim of his own determination.

“He was usually first in the dance studio and last to leave. Friends told him to take it easy – but Jimmy was desperate to get it right,” the insider said.

The source added: “The amount of time, effort and energy he put into the show would put a strain on an Olympic athlete, let alone a man who is old enough to get his pensioner bus-pass.”

Viewers watching last nights show saw ‘What Not to Wear’ host Mica Paris being booted off the show along with partner Ian Waite.

    I love Tarbie I hope he gets better soon.
    He wont win, but he should, he’s old enough to be some of the other contestants great granddad.

    PS Why hasnt he been knighted yet ?. Wait now I’ve said it , it will never happen. I’ve dammed poor jimmy, I consider him the 23rd Beatle.

    Hope he comes back and show the youngsters how its done.

    I realised most people reading this Blog dont know who Jimmy Tarbuck.

    I remember Tarbie commenting on all the non celebrities in the 1990’s who did not have any acknowledgeable talent and where only famous for being on telly.

    Well James what do you think about telly now ? and if you have a time machine to go back to the sixties, can you take me with you ?.

    Never thought I would have anything in common with Tarbie.

    Somebody Bring back Punchlines.

    Somebody Bring Back Lenny Bennett.

    Somebody Bring back John Logie Baird, show him what he’s done and thrash him most soundly.

    Hope Tarbie is better, doesnt overdo it and he’s got my vote.
