Strictly star Richie Anderson has revealed that he was allowed to choose whether he wanted his dance with a male or female partner 🕺
Following the announcement, the 34-year-old said: ‘Strictly is the ultimate feel-good show, as soon as I hear that iconic theme tune it’s just pure escapism.
Richie also confirmed that he’ll be in an all-male partnership following the success of finalists John Whaite and Johannes Radebe, which he hailed a ‘massive honour.’ ‘They said they want me to be on Strictly this year and they were like “do you want to be with a female or male partner?”’ ‘When I spoke to my other half Dean, it was our 10-year anniversary, and he was like “you have to,” and it’s the 50John and Johannes made it all the way to the final last year ‘It would be such a proud moment to be dancing with a male pro.’
