The Strictly judge takes on Woman's toughest interview

- By Robyn Morris

Having been a part of Strictly since it began back in 2004, you might feel like you know Anton Du Beke. Yet despite him being a household name, when we catch up with the dancer he's full of surprising facts as he answers our 10 burning questions.

1 Do you have any embarrassing habits?

I don’t think I do, but I’ve now got children who are six and as they get older I’m going to become a slightly more embarrassing father because I have no shame. So if we’re on holiday, I’ll do things like wear ridiculous trunks. Sometimes I might wear a Speedo just for extra effect, which is embarrassing to my wife!

2 What’s your biggest pet peeve?

It depends what day it is. I’m driving in London right now and my pet peeve at the moment is people driving in London, because they do it so awfully.

3 Who’s your celebrity crush?

I thought Cyd Charisse (below) was exquisite when I was growing up. I wanted to dance with her. I don’t suppose I was the only one.

4 What is your biggest regret?
