Strictly’s Graeme Swann reveals incredible two-and-a-half stone weight loss

The former cricketer has shed the pounds

Strictly Come Dancing star Graeme Swann found himself in the bottom two on Sunday night’s results show.

But he survived to dance another week and that might mean even more weight loss as he’s now revealed he’s lost a staggering two and a half stone.

Speaking to Zoe Ball on It Takes Two, he confirmed his weight loss and Zoe heaped praise on him, saying it was “incredible”.

Professional partner Oti Mabuse quipped it was thanks to the treadmills the pair had used during Saturday night’s fitness-themed salsa.

The performance had everyone off their seats cheering, but it wasn’t enough to save him from the dance off.

Graeme also revealed to Zoe it was the “worst 90-seconds” of his Strictly experience because his sound pack fell out of his shorts.

He admitted he missed a whole section, but was pleased he still managed to pull it off.

The former cricketer told Zoe he felt he had to be memorable with his performances as he’s an amateur dancer.

He triumphed over Red Dwarf star Danny John-Jules who was eliminated.

Danny had had a difficult week after being accused of threatening behaviour towards his professional partner Amy Dowden.

Following their elimination, Danny reportedly lashed out at the judges and co-stars, and then “decided” not to appear on the It Takes Two sofa alongside Amy on Monday.

Amy was tearful as she said she was “proud” of Danny, and host Zoe Ball said she was “disappointed” Danny wasn’t there.

It’s now been reported Danny won’t be appearing on the show’s finale, as is tradition. ED! has contacted his rep for comment.
