Brendan Cole launches new weekly Strictly column for HELLO! Magazine

Brendan Cole has announced that he will be writing a weekly column on the new series of the BBC One dance show for HELLO! magazine online.

Brendan will be giving his verdict on everything from the judges' comments to the performances of celebrity contestants. "It's really nice to be joining HELLO!. I'll be open, honest, frank and positive," he said. And he added that he is looking forward to bringing his own opinions to the table – opinions which may clash with those of the Strictly judges.
