Strictly Come Dancing 2009: Joe Calzaghe
The brand spanking new series of Strictly Come Dancing is upon us and it's packed with more excitement potential than you can stuff in a sequin and glitter spandex cat-suit! Waltz this way to get up to speed with this year's contestants...
Joe Calzaghe
Rrrrr! Now here's a man who could protect you. Boxing world champion Joe, nicknamed the 'Italian dragon' because of his mixed Welsh and Italian heritage, is 5ft 11ins of pure man. He retired, undefeated, earlier this year and stepped up from MBE to CBE appointment in 2008.
Joe's dance partner is Kristina Rihanoff who danced with controversy last year making her debut to the show with popular but hopeless John Sergeant.
Chance of winning: tough call. A beefcake like Calzaghe might not seem particularly graceful but he's no stranger to footwork and we reckon he could be pretty light on his feet. One to watch, this Italian stallion could be our dark horse!
Sex appeal: 3 stars. Don'cha-cha wish your boyfriend was hot like him?
