Yahoo News Strictly's Graeme Swann reveals most surprising thing about show
Strictly Come Dancing star Graeme Swann has spoken about the most surprising thing he's experienced since being on the show.
Graeme was partnered up with pro choreographer Oti Mabuse in the current series of Strictly, but became the ninth contestant to be voted out of the competition two weeks ago.
Chatting to Hello! at the recent Pride of Sport Awards, the former England cricketer revealed: "The most surprising thing is just how often you get recognised afterwards. I can't go anywhere at the minute without people wanting to waltz.
"A lot of people love dance, I realise that now, it's an incredibly popular show and you see how far it reaches out into the country, so that's wonderful actually," he continued.
Graeme also mentioned which celebrity he'd like to be crowned the winner of this year's competition.
"Faye [Tozer]!" he declared. "Faye and I became really good friends because we were always in the hotel together because we travelled from the North, so I have a soft spot for her and she's a brilliant, brilliant dancer. I loved seeing her get 40.
"But Joe's [Sugg] a really cool guy, Stacey [Dooley] is amazing, Lauren's [Steadman] done so well to get where she is and Ashley [Roberts], you've got a Pussycat Doll."
He added: "The competition's incredible now, so who knows?"
Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturdays on BBC One, with the Results Show following on Sunday.
