DID you meet this light-footed TV personality when he came to town?

Strictly Come Dancing star Anton Du Beke waltzed into a Bournemouth bookshop on November 28, 2008 to leave his fans shaken and stirred.

The ballroom dancer, who was promoting his book Anton’s Dance Class, handed out hugs, kisses and even a few impromptu dance tips to the scores of people who had queued to see him.

First in the queue to meet Anton were Bournemouth School for Girls’ pupils Kirsty Winters, Charlotte Marchant-Jones, Jessica Marchant-Jones and Philippa Hathaway, who set up ‘Camp Anton’ outside Waterstones, Castlepoint three hours before the dancer’s arrival.
