In 2009, Du Beke said that his dance partner Laila Rouass "looked like a paki" after she had arrived at rehearsal with a spray tan. Du Beke denied being racist and said that the comment was made "in jest". [10] [11] Other television appearances [ edit ] Du Beke effectively cuts the glamour and aspiration of the ballroom with the grubby, ghastly side of the war at home' - DAILY MAIL It’s September 1940 and with bombs raining down every night, the staff do a magnificent job of keeping the guests happy, even if it’s down in the bunkers. Du Beke has released a book called Anton's Dance Class which was serialised in the Mail on Sunday. [16] Du Beke also wrote an A–Z of ballroom dancing, B is for Ballroom. [17] So my loves, put on your thinking caps and come up with some wonderful questions for me to answer – it’ll be like #AskAnton from our zoom sessions… but live on stage!

Secrets, announcements, revelations and celebrations come to the fore in these next chapters of their lives – with the spectre of war growing ever closer.
Du Beke has appeared in every series of the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing since its inception. In the first series, he danced with singer Lesley Garrett and finished in third place. For the second series, he partnered presenter Esther Rantzen; they were eliminated in the third week. He danced with actress Patsy Palmer for the third series and finished in fifth place. In the fourth series, he danced with actress and impressionist Jan Ravens but was eliminated in week five of the competition. His partner for the fifth series was TV presenter Kate Garraway; the couple were voted out in week seven. His partner for the sixth series was actress Gillian Taylforth; the couple were voted out in week two. In series seven, he was partnered with Laila Rouass. Together, they made it to week twelve. I’ve never read any of the series so far (a mistake I intend to rectify stat! I loved this one so much, I immediately went out and bought the one set before this and am making my mission to get all the others in this series too!). Anton is sure an absolute natural writer and one where you effortlessly slip into the times and story he has created. It was a fantastically written historical fiction and I loved it from start to finish.
Your Host...
Safety always comes first, and Erin and I have been in discussions with our tour organiser Raymond Gubbay: we are in agreement that we should, very sadly, postpone our 2021 ‘Showtime’ tour until 2022. Unfortunately I was only able to give this book 3 stars because it was edited so badly that I almost couldn't read it. Apart from 'there' instead of 'their' and 'it' instead of 'it's ' every age had word or words removed from the correct place and put in several lines above where they should be. This completely ruined the flow of the words and made it difficult to read and enjoy. Ask me anything you like!… I’ll be talking about my life, my career – the inner Anton – and I shall be doing it all with dance and with song. On Christmas Day 2019, Du Beke surprised Craig Revel Horwood as a guest in the Christmas Midnight Gameshow in Michael McIntyre's Big Christmas Show.

Much better cover on the version I had than this.Add to the mix some war profiteering, some love found in old age, someone brought to madness by war's losses, and it would have been quite a good story if it wasn't for the editing.

As the band strikes up in the Grand Ballroom to celebrate the nuptials of Raymond and Nancy, one thing is certain – this will be a Christmas to remember. And I’m sure you’ll forgive me the plug, but I’m also so thrilled that Erin and I will be returning to theatres nationwide early next year with our new Tour for 2021 – Showtime!
