The One Show’s Alex Jones and Matt Baker's foxtrot
JUDY and I once won a Lambada dance competition.
It was at the Saunton Sands Hotel in Devon, and we have the engraved plate on our sideboard to prove it.
We’d been taught the Lambada a few weeks earlier on This Morning, but I don’t think that’s cheating.
Anyway, we were reminded of our moment of glory this week when The One Show’s Alex Jones and Matt Baker performed a foxtrot together at Buckingham Palace, at the end of a rather charming programme from there to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
Both presenters are, of course, Strictly veterans.
And if they’d been at the Saunton Sands that night, there’d be a plate-shaped space on our sideboard.
