express.co.ukAnton Du Beke, 55, has been performing on Saturday night’s Strictly Come Dancing since the show's inception in 2004. However, during his tour, the star revealed his career struggles as he got older, after being pushed to the back to accommodate dancers wearing a vest with “tattoos”.He said: “In the early days I would be down the front.
It would be nice.“We had things called grids where people were in position on the floor and then suddenly you would go back another line."Then they started putting you in the corners and then the tattoos started arriving and everyone with tattoos was down the front wearing a vest.“It got to the point where I was back here.
I was so far back at the end I was chatting with Lance in the orchestra.”“I did not mind not doing the group dances in the end."If I end up having to dance with somebody again, we hope not, I am going to tattoo my routine on my chest.“It seems as if everybody is tattooed these days.
If you are going to come on Strictly Come Dancing you have got to have a tattoo."Anton joined Strictly when the show began in 2004 and remained as a professional dancer, with some iconic moments like being partnered with Ann Widdecombe, until 2021.
