This Christmas, I’ll be trading in the dad-moves for ballroom grooves! 🎶💃

After an 8-week crash course in Latin and ballroom (with no prior dance experience – unless you count shuffling at a works Christmas do), I’ll be stepping onto the dancefloor for Strictly Christmas 2025. Three glittering Gala Dinner Shows await – on Friday 12th December (evening), Saturday 13th December (afternoon), and the grand finale on Saturday 14th December (evening) – all at the Royal Court Hotel, Coventry. And yes… I’ll be performing in all three!

✨ Tickets will be available soon – it would be amazing to have you in the audience to cheer me on (and possibly hide behind your hands if I attempt a samba).

Most importantly, every twirl, spin and (hopefully not too many) missteps are in aid of Zoe’s Place Baby Hospice, Coventry. Zoe’s Place provides specialist palliative, respite, and end-of-life care for babies and young children with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions. They create a safe, loving environment where families can find support and children can receive the best possible care.

So please dig deep, sponsor my transformation from two left feet to (hopefully) dance floor elite, and help raise vital funds for this incredible charity. Every donation makes a real difference.

💃🕺 Ditching the dad moves. Backing a brilliant cause.

Thanks!

Joe
