But one place we are unlikely to see him strutting his stuff is on the Strictly dancefloor.
The star – aptly nicknamed The Body Coach – recently ruled out a stint on the BBC show, saying he preferred to be at home with his family.
“Strictly have always been asking me but I am 100 per cent not doing Strictly or celebrity whatever it may be,” The Sun quoted him as saying.
“I am happy being at home with Rosie, Indie and Marley and that is it.”
