Rugby star Danny Cipriani has said he will break out his signature “Dougie dance” if he wins the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special.

The professional rugby union player, 36, will be taking on the cha cha cha to hit song Celebration alongside professional dancer Jowita Przystal in a bid to be crowned the Christmas champion 2023.

He is among six celebrities who will battle it out on the dancefloor in the festive special, which will air on December 25.

Reflecting on his favourite dance moves, Cipriani said: “Well what people know me for is the Dougie, because when I was 22, I scored a try and did the Dougie afterwards.

“Now I do the Dougie everywhere I go because I like it and add bits to it. It’s a good one to put smiles on faces.”
