Greg Wise has told Alastair Campbell to avoid taking part in 'Strictly Come Dancing' - because it could "kill him".
Greg Wise and Karen Hauer
The 55-year-old actor is part of the current series alongside his pro partner Karen Hauer, but he has instructed the 'Good Morning Britain' guest presenter against putting his dance shoes on in the future.
Speaking on 'GMB', Alastair said: "I've been asked to do 'Strictly' virtually every year it's happened, should I continue to say 'no'?"
Greg replied: "I would do it, honestly Alastair, do it. I'm 55, how old are you?"
Alastair revealed he is 64, and Greg said: "It would kill you!"
The former Labour press secretary said: "Brilliant - that's what I want to hear."
Earlier in the chat, Alastair grilled Greg about why his wife, Hollywood actress Dame Emma Thompson, packed him some condoms before he headed off to 'Strictly' training.
When asked why, Greg replied: "My wife, as you know, is a great gagmeister.
"And so, the whole 'Strictly' curse thing, to put it into some form of perspective, send it off with a really good gag."
Greg paid tribute to his late sister with an emotional Couple's Choice dance on Saturday's (02.10.21) 'Strictly'.
The 'Walking on Sunshine' star brought head judge Shirley Ballas close to tears with his moving disco routine to 'If You Could Read My Mind', which he dedicated to his late sibling, Clare, who sadly died from cancer five years ago.
Before taking to the stage, Greg shared the heart-breaking story of his sister's battle with the disease and her late prognosis in an emotional VT.
He said: "So I want to dedicate it to my sister, the 'Disco Diva'.
"Family is fantastically important...
"An extremely important part of the family was my sister Clare.
"My sister was first diagnosed with breast cancer. And she had the brutal treatment of chemotherapy but I don't think she was out of the woods, because it wasn't found out until quite late on, that in fact, she had got bone cancer. And she died just over a year after her diagnosis."
