Ramps Backs Barnes

Mark Ramprakash is tipping John Barnes for success in this year's Strictly Come Dancing.

Now magazine reports that Ramps tips John becuase he's a sportsman: "Being a fantastic footballer, with good feet and good balance, it doesn't really surprise me that he's got rhythm and coordination."

"The fitness is definitely an advantage and sports people also tend to have this competitive element, which means they want to do well and win."

Will John make it a hat trick for the sportsmen? The 'journey' begins on Saturday...
