Son is embarrassed by Zoe’s ‘yucky’ dancing
Bubbly TV presenter Zoë Ball has revealed that her five-year-old son Woody doesn’t like seeing his mum appearing on BBC hit show Strictly Come Dancing. ‘My husband Norman has been very supportive, but Woody refuses to watch it,’ the 34-year-old mum told Frank Skinner. ‘He says I look "yucky" on TV. Norman had some friends over and when I came on Woody just stood in front of the telly and didn’t want anyone to watch me dancing.’ dailysnack

BOWLED OVER

STRICTLY Come Dancing is trouncing X Factor in the ratings and I'm not surprised.

This is blood and guts stuff, sheer hard graft, intense competition and steely muscles.

For the first time it's turned gladiatorial with the blokes taking the lead, preening in sequins and glinting at one another menacingly.

My money's on cricketer Darren Gough, a throwback to the old-fashioned whippet-walking, cloth-capped, pint-supping Yorkshireman who believes dancing is for Jessies and big girls' blouses.

When first asked to join the show, he told them: "Would I 'eck. I'm a cricketer. From Barnsley. From mining country. Men don't dance where I come from. Men do manly things, like have a pint."

On Saturday, however, this strapping sportsman performed a steamy, sexy Paso Doble worthy of a Seville street dancer.

He says his performance was for his kids in the audience. This was partly true, but it was also because he'll do his damnedest to beat fellow Yorkshireman, chef James Martin. In coming weeks Strictly Come Dancing will resemble the Colosseum. And I can't wait. Mirror

EXCLUSIVE: ZOE UNFAIR
TV rival's 'cheat' jibe over dance tutor No2


STRICTLY Come Dancing star Zoe Ball was branded a cheat by a show rival last night - for secretly arranging extra lessons with another expert.

Zoe, 33, practices for up to six hours daily with partner Ian Waite but has asked top choreographer Steven Hoggett for more help.

One fellow hopeful on the BBC1 show, who asked not to be named, seethed: "To be going after extra lessons is tantamount to cheating in my book.

ACCUSED: Zoe

"Already she comes in every week claiming she's hardly done any practice. She's clearly doing hours and hours, but why she won't admit it is a mystery.


"Ian always talks about how much work they've put in - and they are always brilliant on the night.

"I just wish she'd be a bit more honest about it. She's already doing six hours with Ian, where on earth does she get the energy from?"

Ian and his then-partner Denise Lewis were runners-up last year, but bookies now make him and Zoe odds-on favourites to win this year's December 17 final.

Former Radio 1 star Zoe is so determined to triumph she has moved to London to focus on the competition, leaving DJ husband Fatboy Slim, 42, and son Woody, four, back home in Brighton.

She confessed: "My husband doesn't know who I am and my son doesn't remember me because I'm dancing 24/7."

Meanwhile, the BBC claims there have been "tears and violence" between the couple as they have not got on during rehearsals this week.

Zoe's new tutor Steven choreographed the TV advert for phone firm Orange, in which a couple start ballroom dancing while doing the housework.

Steven, who also runs dance company Frantic Assembly, admitted he was about to start working with her.

He said: "I've only just found out about it. I can't say much about it."

Last night a BBC insider said: "After hosting The Match on Sky One, Zoe's desperate to revive her career.

"To boost her profile she needs to stay on Strictly Come Dancing as long as possible, which means going all out to win it.

"Strictly speaking she's not breaking any rules, but there's a feeling that having extra tuition on the side would be a bit sneaky." Mirror

To be honest this seems abit ott to me - the couples have always taken advice from other professionals thoughout all the series - I see no reason to think Zoe is cheating because she does the same

Have to say Zoe was fantastic tonight!

The girl done well, It must be all the extra lessons she is getting.

Zoe was great tonight and I do hope she stays there untill the last night.

James sees a shrink to help him win the show.... .
