Strictly line dancing for Susan Carragher suspended from £1m TV pundit job after spit shame

STRICTLY star Susan Calman hit the floor again – to line dance with a group of pensioners.

The comedian, 43, showed off her moves when she helped launch the 2018 National Lottery awards at the Senior Centre in Castelmilk, Glasgow.

They use lotto cash to put on art and exercise classes aimed at tackling feelings of isolation and loneliness among the elderly.

Susan said: “I know first-hand how much joy dance brings, so it was fantastic to see the brilliant work of the Senior Centre. The line dancing group certainly gave me a run for my money.” JAMIE Carragher will face no further action for spitting in the face of a 14-year-old girl, police said yesterday.

The former Liverpool and England footballer was spoken to by officers but it was “agreed” a prosecutio­n was not in the public interest.

Carragher, 40, however, has been suspended from his £1million job as TV pundit for Sky Sports.

The pundit leaned out of the window of his Range Rover and spat at another driver, Andy Hughes, who was goading him about Liverpool’s loss to bitter rivals Manchester United last Saturday.

Carragher’s spit hit Andy’s 14-year-old daughter in the face and police were called in after footage of the incident went viral.

The pundit repeatedly apologised for his “moment of madness” to Andy, his daughter and football fans in general.

Saturday’s incident, following Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat, sparked disgust at the former player’s behaviour.

But many Liverpool fans and fellow Sky pundit Gary Neville defended Carragher.

Sky Sports said the Anfield legend would not be paid for the duration of his suspension.

They added: “Jamie has taken full responsibi­lity for what has happened and we will ensure he gets the help he needs to guarantee something like this never happens again.

“Before the start of the next season, we will sit down with Jamie to discuss whether he is ready to return to his role.”

Yesterday, it emerged that Andy and his family, from Colwyn Bay, Wales, have received abuse and death threats.

Carragher asked his Twitter followers to “please leave the family alone”.
