Jake Wood will never swivel his snake-hips again after Strictly Come Dancing – sigh

Jake Wood has always been one of our weird crushes – we’re not sure if it’s his bald, shiny head or nasty, arrogant ways on EastEnders – but we never expected him to be such a great mover on Strictly Come Dancing.

We were really hoping we would be able to go and see him swing his snake-hips for years to come but it seems we’re going to be left Wood-less. Devo.

The soap actor says he’s never going to dance again after the BBC ballroom contest because, erm, he’s just too bleedin’ good.

He’s worried he won’t be able to keep up his brilliant standard once he goes back to being Max Branning on the ol’ tellybox.

He told The Sun: “People are going to be expecting me to dance but I don’t think I can go out and freestyle.

“I don’t know what people expect from here on in but I can’t see myself getting up. I’ll go back to sitting, nodding my head.

“I’ve never danced before, I’ve never had a lesson, I don’t dance at a wedding or a party. So I had no idea.

“I think I’ve always had these hips but they just needed a bit of guidance. I don’t know where it’s come from, there’s nothing in the family tree that I know of. God knows.”

Oh, Jake, we will forever long to see you dance again!
