OPINION - Rachel Johnson: Enough handwringing about Strictly, it's a dance show not Desert Storm

If politics is showbiz for ugly people, then what kind of folks is Strictly Come Dancing for? Before the brouhaha, I’d have said talented, watchable, teachable, almost recognisable — but also fame-hungry. I’d have said Strictly is telly for pushy people. Which is presumably why some execs from unscripted tried to persuade moi a few years ago, over cocktails in the Electric.
