Jools Holland

The first thing I learned was the 'St Louis Blues' when I was eight. Both my grandmothers, my mother and uncle played the piano. This was post-war Britain, and they played boogie woogie and blues, which was the underground music of the time.

I think Phillip Schofield would be great on 'Strictly.' He got up on 'This Morning' once with Holly and did a bit of a boogie and he can dance, and he is entertaining, and he is such a nice guy.

 Everything about flamingos is about doing stuff with your friends and I've often thought it's a bit like a primary school disco. In that there are some kids that really want to kind of go on the dance floor and, you know, they would want to get their boogie on. And they’re like come on, come on, do it with me.
