Kerre Woodham

"I was doing a charity gig a million years ago, and they had the DWTS dancers there. One of them came over and asked me to dance, and I explained that I just don't dance. He said, 'Just hang on to me.' So I did, and it was like riding a really good dressage horse – you've just got to try not to let your legs get in the way and interrupt them.”
