Strictly champ Joe McFadden: Taggart was my big break but watching it now is murder! He said: “When we are doing the tour we are still doing these arenas and running around spaces like football pitches every night. “Sometimes I come off and I feel like I’m about to die of exhaustion. “There’s worse ways to go but being 42, as I am sadly, it was the first time where I sort of felt my age. Joe McFadden says Strictly Come Dancing experience has given him a new sympathy for Dancing on Ice contestants “Then I looked at Debbie McGee and thought, well she’s 59 and she can manage it, so I need to just shut up and get on with it.” Enjoy the convenience of having The Sunday Post delivered as a digital ePaper straight to your smartphone, tablet or computer.
