Footballer Crouch jokes that PM is going through his dance ‘repertoire’

Footballer Peter Crouch has joked that Theresa May is going through his “repertoire” in response to a video of her dancing in Kenya. The Prime Minister unleashed her dance moves as her trade trip to Africa came to a close, swinging her arms and spinning around while in the company of Scouts during a visit to the United Nations offices in Nairobi.

It followed a similarly energetic display from the PM, dubbed the “Maybot” by some, at a school in South Africa at the start of her trip.

Crouch, who is known for breaking out his robotic dance moves on the football pitch when celebrating a goal, shared a clip of Mrs May’s latest attempt at busting a groove on Twitter.

He wrote: “Ahhhhh the old picking apples routine. She’s going straight through my repertoire on this trip.”

In response to Mrs May’s first spot of dancing in Africa earlier in the week, he had playfully tweeted the lyrics to Snap hit Rhythm Is A Dancer.

Comedian and actor Matt Lucas made a bold proposal while commenting on Mrs May’s efforts. He tweeted: “I would sell my house to watch Theresa May on Strictly.”

Bookmaker Ladbrokes has slashed Mrs May’s odds of appearing on Strictly Come Dancing in the next five years to just 5-1.
