Jason's Extra Tuition

Jason Donovan had some dance lessons before the official start of training, reports the Daily Telegraph.

The paper reports that Jason had extra tuition from former Strictly showdancer Shem Jacobs. A source said: "A lot of people on set, including the contestants and dancers, are aware of the extra lessons Jason had been having. You could tell from the first live show. His technique was too good, not that of a complete novice."

Jason claims that this was merely advice from a friend, and not formal lessons.
