Theresa May

revealed her enthusiasm for strictly Come Dancing when she joked that the contestants could get in touch with her ‘for tips’ following her own performance during a recent trip to africa.

Now one of the show’s professional dancers Katya Jones — who was memorably paired with ed Balls in 2016 — claims the PM would make a great contestant. ‘Theresa should come on — when she has more time. I saw the videos of her dancing and I’d love to teach her a few moves,’ Katya, 29, tells me at the Philips Many Faces exhibition launch in Mayfair.

‘There’s room for improvement, but she has enthusiasm and that’s promising.’
