He said: “They’ll be devastated. They’re going to be so jealous. I can’t wait for them to find out."

The petite dancer - famous for her Argentine Tango with Simone - said dancing is what makes their bottoms award-worthy, and she said she believes it will continue to keep them well-toned.
“I think we will always dance, whether we can actually still perform full on, we will always do some form of dance, even if it’s social or teaching, so hopefully that will keep them nice and compact,” she said.
Simone, 35, joked that he had been waiting for this award “all my life”, saying: “I think it was about time.”
The dancing star, who appears in stage show Midnight Tango with Cacace, said: “I haven’t seen any other men with amazing rears like me, so I don’t have much competition.”
Confident that his behind will remain in great condition, he added: “My bum is eternal. It will last forever.”
