‘Strictly Come Dancing’: Louise Redknapp’s Father-In-Law Harry Jokes About Show’s Curse

'Everyone who goes on 'Strictly' ends up having...'

Louise Redknapp is currently busy mastering her moves for BBC show ‘Strictly Come Dancing’, but over on Sky, her husband Jamie Redknapp is taking a bashing over the infamous Strictly’ curse - from none other than his own dad.

The former footballer is a team captain on sports-based panel show ‘A League Of Their Own’, and in an upcoming episode, host James Corden and the rest of the participants take the chance to make a few cheeky jokes about the show.

As The Sun reports, James kicks things off, asking the bizarre question: “Are ghosts really manifestation of the souls of our ancestors or are they just psycho echoes from our psyche’s?”

When Jamie and his dad, Harry, who is a guest on the episode, look suitably confused, Jamie’s rival captain Jack Whitehall offers: “Jamie is Louise easily spooked? Because she is about to see a whole lot of Russian Ghoulies I think.”

Naturally, this sends the audience into fits of laughter - but Jamie is left shocked when he realises his own dad is laughing.

“He hasn’t got anything to worry about has he Harry?” James then asks, to which Harry replies: “Yeah! Everyone who goes on that Strictly ends up having…”

Wow. Just wow.

“What are you doing! Not everyone,” Jamie says. “You’re talking about your daughter in-law!”

So far, Louise and her pro partner Kevin Clifton have impressed the ‘Strictly’ judges, and were joint top of the leaderboard last weekend.

This Saturday’s (8 October) show has a movie week theme, and will see Louise dancing the cha-cha, to a tune from ‘Flashdance’. Find out what her competitors will be boogying to here.
