However, it’s doubtful a backstage choreographer position is positively what all-singing, all-dancing Anton, the oldest pro terpsichorean on the show, had in mind.
I told in May how he had been full to pals about being excluded from a gauge’s role.
He thought BRUNO TONIOLI, CRAIG Wassail HORWOOD and DARCEY BUSSELL should be linked by a British male and felt he had been a easy make of “positive discrimination” when Shirley was picked.

Unless your flag’s Anton, of course.
