A DERBYSHIRE auctioneer is backing Bargain Hunt presenter Tim Wonnacott in his bid to be crowned champion of BBC1's Strictly Come Dancing.
Charles Hanson, of Hansons Auctioneers, in Etwall, said he had first-hand experience of his friend's moves on the dance floor.
He said: "I remember being at Tim's 60th birthday party a couple of years ago when we both took to the dance floor.
"We showed everyone there that night how to boogie and I think he will take the skills he showed that night and use them during the show."
Mr Hanson revealed he was a guest of Mr Wonnacott at the live launch event last week.
Mr Wonnacott is set to battle it out against a raft of celebrities such as Steve Backshall and Pixie Lott. The show is next on screens at 6.20pm on Saturday.
