Why not take a break from speculating whether or not Strictly Come Dancing star Anton 'Tony' Du Beke will foxtrot off or survive the ballroom blitz of publicity surrounding his racist remarks, by taking a look at his website? Monkey has. Apparently Tony and his partner Erin Boag are available to hire for cabaret. They promise dancing and "an additional sprinkling of humour as Anton charms the audience in between dances with his famously smooth persona". Plus he "reveals himself to be quite a comedian". Hmm. But Monkey was most intrigued by a "Team Building and Training" course the couple runs. It offers: "Non-verbal communications, eye contact, space awareness, quick decision-making, risk-taking, confidence and ability to throw oneself in at the deep end." Perhaps Anton should take the course himself.
