Anton Du Beke has joked he is going to get his first tattoo in honour of Strictly Come Dancing after feeling out of place on the show. The professional dancer, 55, has been a part of Strictly since it first aired on BBC in 2004 and last year became a judge. He admitted that since younger, inked male professionals joined the show he had been pushed to the back of group dances and didn't feel in the spotlight anymore.
Speaking to The Daily Mail's Richard Eden, Anton said: 'It seems as if everybody is tattooed these days. If you're going to come on Strictly Come Dancing, you have got to have a tattoo. Professional tattooed males on the show include Giovanni Pernice, Gorka Marquez, Neil Jones and Graziano Di Prima.
Anton revealed he wanted to be part of the inked group: 'I am actually going to get a tattoo next year for Strictly 'If I end up having to dance with somebody again I am going to tattoo my routine on my chest. I just hope they [dance partners] are not short-sighted. I don't know about piercings, though.
. . ' Anton stood in for Bruno Tonioli, 66, on last year's series when the Italian star was unable to travel to the UK from the US last year due to pandemic travel restrictions.
He wasn't on the list of professionals when the line-up was announced last week, and his new comments have confirmed his position on the judging panel. The star sat in on the famous panel last year alongside regular judges Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas. Recently, Craig reportedly received a telling off by Strictly bosses after telling an audience that Anton is returning as a judge this year while on his All Balls and Glitter Tour.
