I’m so bored by Dan the Strictly ironing board

EVERY week I watch Strictly and every week I ask myself: ‘Why Dan?’ Time and time again some brilliant dancers have been voted off while Dan Walker lets out a huge sigh of relief that he has made it through by the skin of his teeth.

Now the BBC presenter (left, with pro dance partner Nadiya Bychkova) is into the quarterfinal which bouncy young Tilly Ramsay and her partner Nikita deserved to reach. Both she and Dan have progressed from a point where neither knew the first thing about dancing, but Tilly has learned to do it properly.

Dan, who I’m sure is very nice, doesn’t dance at all. He marches round the floor like an animated ironing board. Not fair!
