Vince Cable looks at home on the dance floor as he and Erin Boag show the celebrities how it’s done on the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special.
Dr Cable, a keen ballroom dancer, said he hoped his appearance on the one-off show would inspire others.
The 67-year-old Business Secretary, who dances weekly at a studio in Hampton, said: “I hope that by taking part in the show I can inspire others to get up and do something they have always wanted to have a go at.”
