Billy Connolly: I'll do Strictly next year if Pamela wins

Billy Connolly has reportedly said that he will participate in next year’s Strictly Come Dancing competition if his wife, Pamela Stephenson, wins this weekend.

The 68 year old is believed to be amazed at the change he has seen in his wife and has been practising at home, “Billy is amazed at what this has done for Pamela. She’s changed in front of his eyes. She’s lost two stone and gone from being a professional psychologist to a sizzling salsa sexpot – and he loves it! He is amazed at her transformation and is keen to get in on the action.”

Connolly is also particularly interested in being the celebrity partner of Ola Jordan, wife of Stephenson’s dancing partner James.

An insider added that, “Billy thinks the Jordans are lovely. If he were partners with Ola it would be just great. It would be fun rather than hard work for him.”

Stephenson goes head to head with Kara Tointon and Matt Baker in this weekend’s final.
