‘Could’ve been incredible!’ BBC’s Dan Walker shares regret over Strictly partner choice

Dan Walker has been wowing Strictly Come Dancing audiences with his partner Nadiya Bychkova over the past few weeks. However, in a new post, Dan admitted he does wish he’d been paired with new It Takes Two host Janette Manrara.

Dan and Nadiya were guests on It Takes Two last night where they shared some details about their upcoming movie week dance.

The pair will be dancing the Foxtrot to Once Upon A Dream by Seth MacFarlane.

Their routine will be inspired by the Disney film Sleeping Beauty.

However, ahead of the pair appearing on the show, Dan posted an Instagram video detailing his partner regret.

Posting on Instagram at the time, he shared a picture of Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf from the Lord of the Rings, making a joke about their respective heights.

He penned: “Thank you for all your lovely messages about #Strictly.

“I’m looking forward to getting cracking and having a good laugh.

“It’s disappointing that @jmanrara has moved on to #ItTakesTwo because I feel we would have made a perfectly-sized couple @bbcstrictly.”

Janette then reacted to his post, admitting she had just “missed out” on their partnership.
