Strictly's Adam Peaty wants Hollywood's Channing Tatum to play him in film

Strictly Come Dancing’s Olympian Adam Peaty wants former stripper and Magic Mike hunk Channing Tatum to play him in a biopic.

The 26-year-old swimmer will rhumba to Leona Lewis’ I See You from Avatar with Katya Jones, 32, on Saturday.

He added: “Who wouldn’t want to be played by Channing Tatum?”

Ahead of this weekend’s Movie Week, Greg Wise, 55, says despite finding Close Encounters of the Third Kind a “beautiful” and “sensational” film, he “supposes” his favourite film is Sense and Sensibility – in which he starred alongside his future wife Emma Thompson.

Greg will perform the paso doble to the James Bond theme with Karen Hauer, 39.

They will jive to Johnny B Goode by Chuck Berry from Back To The Future.

Tom’s band is named after main character Marty McFly.
