Dinner’s strictly off the menu
JUDY: I must admit my heart beats a little faster when Brian Fortuna takes to the floor in Strictly Come Dancing. His grace and elegance are extraordinary and his whip-sharp moves are probably the crispest of all the male professional dancers.
So I bow to the resolve of his partner, ex-Hollyoaks actress Ali Bastian, 26, who reportedly is pleasantly but firmly denying Fortuna a private date off the dance floor.
“I’ve been asking Ali out for three weeks now and still she keeps shooting me down,” he sighs. “Maybe one day she’ll accept.”
It’s not as if the gorgeous Ali – what a face, what a figure! – is spoken for. She recently split from her boyfriend and could accept the offer of a candlelit dinner with the glamorous Fortuna with a clear conscience.
Of course, the whole story may be a publicity spin-job. I hope not.
They’d make a lovely couple.
