Willie Thorne, who appeared on last years Strictly Come Dancing series has admitted that he hasn’t danced since leaving the show.

Thorne, 54, told Teletext: “I haven’t danced since because I broke my leg and I put on three stone.

“But I still intend to do some dancing with my wife. It’s a shame as I lost two stone while training for five weeks. I want to learn to jive.”

Strictly Come Dancing loser, Willie Thorne has said that he would be entering the I’m A Celebrity jungle later this year.

He told The Sun: “ITV asked me last year but it clashed with Strictly so I said I’d do it this year instead.”

He added: “I’d love to go into the jungle and I’ll eat anything for money.”

In a not so shock result, snooker player Willie Thorne has become the latest person to leave the Strictly Come Dancing reality TV show.

Willie last night found himself in the bottom two along with football star, John Barnes.

But the judges weren’t big Willie fans and Bruno Tonioli said his dancing style resembled “a polar bear in the Sahara”.
So its bye bye Willie! Better luck next time.

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. Read more & comment »
