Male Couple In Austrian Strictly

Following the Israeli version of Strictly which had an all-girl couple, the Austrian version now has the first ever all-male couple.

The Pink Paper reports that Alfons Haider, who is said to have inspired Sacha Baron Cohen’s Brüno, will be dancing with professional dancer Balazs Ekker in Dancing Stars which starts a new series in March.

Alfons said: “For me, it won’t be about the gay issue. It should be all about the fun – I’m not the gay Joan of Arc! I’m looking forward to dancing with Balazs.”
