Strictly Come Dancing hopeful Dan Walker could be making news headlines for all the wrong reasons this weekend if one expert is to be believed.
Body language expert Darren Stanton has said that he thinks Dan has gone as far as he can in Strictly 2021.
And, not only that, he claims to have picked up on his pro partner Nadiya Bychkova feeling “awkward at times” around him.

“I feel he stops himself from really going for it because he’s worried about how he’ll be perceived.
“If he actually lets go and allows Nadiya to push him even more, I think they could do much better.
“He seems to have some kind of mental blockage in respect of his nerves and anxiety which I see seeping through his body language responses.”
