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.
