Widdecombe: It takes a sense of humour to appear on 'Strictly'

Ann Widdecombe admits she needs a good sense of humour to participate in 'Strictly Come Dancing'.

The former Conservative minister - who has become a firm favourite of the public despite receiving consistently low scores from the BBC One show's judging panel - is pleased she has been paired with professional dancer Anton Du Beke, as he helps to inject some humour into their performances.
