‘I couldn’t do Strictly, I’d end up bonking my dance partner’

He said: “I would love to. “My wife is the boss. It’s her body and she will tell me when she’s ready, if she’s ready.” STRICTLY judge Darcey Bussell has recalled her embarrassment dancing with a passionate older man.
The former ballerina performed with Russian Irek Mukhamedov when she was in her 20s. For one routine he insisted on getting up close and personal.
Darcey said: “I danced with him very early in my career. We had an intense working relationship.
“He played a soldier who I had an affair with and I am a school teacher. He is much older than me. I was only
