TOM MAKES SONG AND DANCE

26th October 2009/By Nigel Pauley/Daily Star

SINGING legend Sir Tom Jones has revealed he loves the X Factor – but would never appear on Strictly Come Dancing.

Sir Tom, 69, cast his vote on the battle between the two shows by backing Simon Cowell, 50, over Bruce Forsyth, 81.

The veteran sex symbol said: “X Factor is good to watch. I would definitely do it if I was a young singer.”

But he said there is “no way” he would follow boxer and fellow Welshman Joe Calzaghe, 37, and go on Strictly.

“You’re not doing your own thing, but following a dance you are given. Besides, it looks too much like hard work.”

Note: On November 16, 2008, to mark the release of 24 Hours, Tom appeared on the Canadian version of Strictly (photo above right). On the show, where they incorrectly announced the forthcoming CD would be called Gemini, he debuted If He Should Ever Leave You. He also appeared on Dancing With The Stars, the US incarnation in September 2006.
