STRICTLY hopeful Tyler West says he’s dancing for the woman in his life – his mum.
The radio and TV presenter has dedicated his performance to NHS worker Debbie, who raised him and his brother alone after their dad walked out when they were kids.
Tyler, 26, who has been paired with pro dancer Dianne Buswell, has even moved back in with his mum while he does the show.
He said: “When this came around, it was such a big thing for me and my mum. She’s a huge fan. I’m doing it for you, Mum.”
Tyler’s Strictly preparations were thrown into chaos last month when Debbie, 56, was taken to hospital.
Tyler, who had to call an ambulance for his mum, told how he initially feared the worst and was left terrified by the thought of losing her.
