Richard Dunwoody: "I'm In Great Hands"

Richard Dunwoody has written a column for The Mirror, in which he talks about his Strictly experience so far.

He says: "My partner, Lilia Kopylova, is tremendous. I'm in great hands. She wants to learn to ride horses. I'm looking forward to teaching her... probably more than she is looking forward to teaching me! I took a whip in with me yesterday, so she could keep me in check. The first week of training has been a great laugh. We've got a great team and everyone gets on well. Phil Tufnell and Craig Kelly have had us in stitches, and OXO mum Linda Bellingham has tried to keep us under control. Martina Hingis is a star."
