In April 2011 I was asked to judge at a charity 'Strictly Come Dancing' evening at Purely Chase Golf Club, organised by Nuneaton Dance School. The event, which saw 11 couples take to the floor after just 12 weeks training, was in aid of the Mary Ann Evans Hospice. Judging with me was BBC newreader Kay Alexander and internationally renouned dance instructor Julie Earnshaw. More than £5,000 was riased at what was an excellent evening, which saw prizes award for the judges favourite, as well as the crowds.
