Will UK Business Secretary, Lord Peter Mandelson, demonstrate his dancing on TV before Xmas?

Settled as No

No news of Peter Mandelson dancing by suspension date.

Background:

Lord Mandelson was on BBC Breakfast show this morning talking about the economy but was sidelined into discussing the BBC's celebrity dancing show, Strictly Come Dancing. He admitted to a tinge of envy while watching it on Saturday night and says it would be "nice to be asked" to take part.

While he declined to give a demonstration of his twinkle toes prowess today, he did suggest that he would be happy to do so another time.

Will he wow us with his dancing talent before Dec 25th?


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.
