BBC presenter Gabby Logan has made a playful dig at former Strictly Come Dancing professional and now judge Anton Du Beke, during an appearance on the Stick to Rugby podcast alongside her husband Kenny.
Reflecting on their respective Strictly journeys in 2007, Gabby, who was partnered with James Jordan, quipped: 'Put it this way, if he could've danced with Anton Du Beke he would've been that person.' Kenny, who finished fifth in the competition, retorted: 'Stick to what you're good at sweetheart.'
Gabby was the fourth celebrity eliminated from the series, while Kenny lasted longer. In her 2022 memoir The First Half, Gabby admitted she was reduced to tears when the judges saved Penny Lancaster over her, and said she was told she was 'being too competitive'.
During a previous appearance on Gabby's podcast The Mid.Point in 2023, Anton and Gabby discussed the so-called Strictly curse. Gabby dismissed the idea, saying: 'If you go on Strictly and you're in a good relationship and you don't want romance, you're not going to get any. There's no curse.'
