Nick Clegg turns down Strictly Come Dancing and mocks Theresa May’s ‘weird’ jig
EX LIB Dem leader Nick Clegg has turned down an offer to dance on Strictly.
The politician, who last year lost his seat as MP for Sheffield Hallam, rejected the chance to follow in Ed Balls' quick steps.
“I am not dancing on the telly,” Nick said.
“I have been approached by most of the shows, including Strictly.
He added: “But I have said no to all of them.”
Nick revealed he won't be competing for the famous Glitter Ball trophy at the Pink News Awards in London.
And he didn't miss a chance to lay into the PM's oft repeated awkward dance moves - which she debuted during a trip to South Africa.
He said: “It wasn’t really dancing.
"It was weird."
Home Secretary Sajid Javid waded in, saying her moves were like “Abba’s best tribute act”, while Vince Cable said she was a "good sport".
He added: "The fact that she can laugh at herself is to her credit.
"Will she be laughing in 12 months’ time, who knows?"
