BBC bosses were left with a dilemma and a ticking clock after Strictly celebrity Russell Grant turned badly on his ankle in training on Monday. All seemed lost until Colin Montgomerie, the perfect match for Grant agreed to step in at the last minute to offer his services. The director of programming at the BBC, an avid golf fan, had seen Montgomerie on the range at the Portugal Masters and figured he must be at a loose end.
It now looks certain that the European Tour’s straightest batter will step into the shoes of the most bent for Saturday nights live show. Yes, Bruce Forsyth will be uttering the lines “Our next couple is Colin and Flavia performing the Rumba.”
Monty met with Flavia on Tuesday morning and immediately insisted that all the dance steps be written on paper for the Scot to study. “It’s going to be difficult uh uh uh”, Montgomerie said “because everybody knows uh uh uh I don’t do practice.”
It’s believed Grant will be out of action for two weeks, allowing Monty, should he survive the public vote this weekend, to dance the Passo Doble on Saturday week. “That’s a serious dance” said professional dancer Flavia, before adding “but it will be easy for Monty. He will simply stare down the judges with his ‘who made that noise’ look. They will have no choice but to award us 10’s. More as it emerges.
