We know he is physically very fit
He played violin as a boy and has learnt to play the piano so he has musicality
He is used to speaking live and being in front of an audience, which will help his confidence
In his interview this morning he sounded very committed, I got the impression he was dedicated to Strictly and was not fitting it in around a hectic schedule
I also got the impression he wanted to learn a skill rather than just have fun
A good MOR contestant
