If I do find myself walking up the aisle and dancing at my own wedding reception, I want the first dance to be both spontaneous and dramatic.
From Anton du Beke
As I grew up, I wasn't a great buyer of albums, but I really liked 'The Jam.' I like good musicians and loved the energy of their songs.
I hated most music in the 1970s, especially disco, but Bowie was edgier.
Frank Sinatra was a great singer, but my favourite is Sammy Davis Jr. He had incredible versatility in his voice, often doing impressions of people. It's always going to be classic, and you'll never get bored listening.
I remember watching the Three Tenors at the World Cup in 1990, and it was amazing. They made opera accessible to the man in the street.
As soon as I left school at 16, I worked in a factory making aircraft components.
My father is Hungarian and moved to Britain during the uprising, and my Spanish mum comes from Galicia; they moved here at the end of the Fifties.
There is not a lot of money in competition dancing. There never has been; it's all about winning the trophies, really. It's not like golf.
As soon as I started dancing at 14, I knew I was always going to be a professional dancer.
I enjoy watching talented cooks bringing together ingredients into a fabulous dish.
