You can’t stop his feet (or heat)

If it’s fall in London, it’s time for my favourite British television obsession – Strictly Come Dancing. This is the original version of the U.S.’s Dancing w/the Stars (with two of the same judges – Len “Grand Old Man” Goodman and Bruno “My comments are as spicy as a jalapeno spaghetti bolognese” Tonioli). And of course every year, there’s the heartthrob I root for. From 2006 winner Cricketer Mark Ramprakash, last year’s third place TV Presenter Gethin Jones, to this year’s Rugby star Austin Healy – who may just be the best male celeb dancer yet. Talk about light on his feet and HOTT! His first two weeks he’s received amazing marks and you Must watch this clip of him doing the Jive to Hairspray song. I’ve even got my colleagues at work doing a sweepstakes for the show (shades of the old American Idol pool back home!). I think he could be in the driver’s seat to the championship.
