DRESS REHEARSAL - Anton Du Beke, Judy Murray - (C) BBC - Photographer: Kieron McCarron] To celebrate the launch, Anton and his co-host Sarah Stirk invited us to Pitch, a golf club in central London, to discuss their new project.
The scene may have you thinking I was rewatching one of his Strictly Come Dancing routines on YouTube, perhaps his Paso Doble with Ruth Langsford or Viennese Waltz with Emma Barton, but actually, Anton, 58, was doing something else entirely.
The age a person begins a sport is often a factor in how successful they can become, Anton pointed out, so he was proud to tell us his seven-year-old twin children George and Henrietta with his wife Hannah Summer are starting to express interest in golf.
A world in which Anton doesn’t drag Ann Widdecombe across the Strictly dance floor is not one we want to live in, so we’re glad the cards fell this way.
Instead, he started playing at age 16 after a man at his dance school in San Francisco suggested Anton join him at a golf course.
