Move aside, Kate and Leo! Strictly Come Dancing's Dave Myers and Karen Hauer recreate iconic Titanic scene... on his Thames barge
|
But if Dave Myers is preparing to bow out of the BBC1 competition tonight, at least he will go out with a smile on his face.
The hairy biker showed his willingness to become the show’s jester by recreating the iconic scene from the film Titanic on the stern of his Thames barge.
Always the joker! If Dave Myers is preparing to bow out of Strictly Come Dancing on Saturday night, at least he will go out with a smile on his face
Taking on the role of female lead – as played by Kate Winslet in the 1997 blockbuster – he allowed himself to be clasped by his dance partner Karen Hauer, who stood in for Leonardo DiCaprio.
Last Saturday, the pair came bottom of the Strictly leader board after their dance to Maroon 5’s single Moves Like Jagger was branded ‘terrifying’ by the judges.
Craig Revel Horwood, who gave them a score of two out of ten, said he ‘recoiled in horror’ at the sight of Myers dragging his partner across the floor.

He recreated the move on the roof of his boat, but this time allowed Miss Hauer to pull him by the heel instead.
The scenes were reminiscent of John Sergeant’s inelegant paso doble on the same show in 2008, in which he pulled Kristina Rihanoff behind him.
No doubt Myers will be hoping for some of Sergeant’s luck. By winning the public’s affections, the journalist remained in the show for ten weeks despite consistently coming bottom of the leader board.
