Don't blame 'curse of Strictly' for this personal and private tragedy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Only lazy commentators would invoke the so-called Strictly curse in response to the sad news that professional dancers James and Ola Jordan’s 22-year marriage is over. James was my partner in the late beloved Sir Brucie’s final year, 2013. He left the show after our series. I always hoped my execrable cha-cha-cha wasn’t responsible. Ola quit in 2015. I can’t believe the tentacles, even of the most venomous curse, extend more than a decade later. I thought them the most devoted and multi-talented
'Curse of the trophy wives leaves guilded billionaires harassed and hectored' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have just flitted back from the engagingly wild and wind-blown Italian island of Sardinia. The Costa Smeralda is known as a rich man’s playground and, burnished tans and glittering Rolexes apart, let me present the overwhelming proof. Everywhere you look are crusty old antique husbands squiring improbably youthful trophy wives. Often, the awkward, almost adult children of the first extinct marriage trail somewhat wretchedly in their wake. Nannies wheeling the bouncing babies of marriage number
'BBC's latest move shows nothing is sacred – determined to appeal to young' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Oh dear! Is nothing sacred? Is the BBC’s dotty but deadly determination to attract younger viewers spreading to Strictly? Not only has the programme signed five unknown professionals who have been posing, bare washboard bellies to the fore, looking as if they are auditioning for a K-pop band, they’ve also engaged Love Island winner Cach Mercer and – I kid you not – Kim Kardashian’s hairdresser. Why don’t bosses get it? Strictly is for oldies, babies and all dance lovers in between. You agree you
'You can tell a lot about a person by their books – even if you'll like them' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Rather like Lindsay Bagshaw in Anthony Powell’s A Dance to the Music of Time, I have always believed “books do furnish a room”. It doesn’t matter if they are stacked on a wonky IKEA shelf or exquisitely arranged in an ornately carved mahogany George III bookcase. Mine, some battered, some first editions, reflect the good, bad and downright dreadful of my life. AA Milne’s When We Were Very Young stands next to Desmond Morris’s The Naked Ape, Fanny Hill’s Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure sits beside
'Ken Bruce was right - BBC bosses have got it wrong at Radio 2' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I loved doing handovers with Ken Bruce at Radio 2. In the three minutes before we were ‘live’, Britain’s favourite broadcaster would vent his irritation with the station’s idiotically obsessive mission to attract younger listeners. He couldn’t understand why bosses didn’t value the millions of devoted folk already happily tuning in. Ken bewailed the ‘incomprehensible’ decision to import jarring music from Radio 1 and inflict it on an audience who would have been far happier with Johnny Mathis an
