My daughters made me do Strictly.. I'm excited and scared

STRICTLY hopeful Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink says he was “pushed” to do the hit BBC show by his daughters and has been left a bag of nerves as his dance debut looms.

Despite being used to the spotlight when playing for Chelsea in the early 2000s, the 53-year-old confessed: “It’s unknown... out of my comfort zone, not knowing what is going to come.”

He said the prospect was exciting but had him feeling scared.

Jimmy, who went on to become a manager after his playing days, will be taking to the Strictly ballroom next month as part of this year's celebrity lineup.
