Recently, Ben said that his wife, Annie Perks, won’t let him take part in Strictly Come Dancing.

He ruled out the idea of strutting his stuff on the ballroom floor and it seems he won’t be following in the footsteps of his co-stars – including Richard Arnold and Kate Garraway – after he admitted the infamous Strictly “curse” isn’t worth the risk.
