Sadly Bruce can tap dance - at least he used to tap dance.
What he does now has nothing to do with ballroom or cucurachas!
It was a Portuguese viewer last year or the year before who posted up on one of the BBC Strictly boards her question about what on earth Bruce was doing at the beginning of each show. She wondered (ironically) if it might be stamping out cockroaches, and that metaphor stuck in everyone's minds.
Ah well, not long to go now/ two more shows, then Bruce will hang up his socks. This year, it seems, will be his last (deduced from hints dropped in interviews earlier this year).
And if SCD goes further down the DWTS route with props, Widdys etc, it is unlikely he would want to come back next year.
Hence, just two more shows to attempt swan song choreography.
