Theresa May admits a Strictly invite is unlikely after bizarre dance moves during visit to Cape Town in South Africa

THERESA May admitted a Strictly invite is unlikely last night after a toe-curling dance display on a visit to an African school.

The PM, 61, swayed awkwardly from side to side and bobbed up and down as she was greeted by a group of dancing pupils.

Mrs May, who was in Cape Town to announce a scholarship programme for 100 African youngsters to study in Britain, smiled and laughed throughout.

And she went on to join in with a second dance at the South African city’s I D Mkize School.

The PM, dubbed the Maybot by critics, joked: “I think the chances of Strictly Come Dan­cing coming calling are pretty minimal.”

And after social media users branded her “Twinkle Toes Theresa”, she quipped: “I’ve been called many things in my time.”
