'Strictly' star nicknamed "Mr. Bean"
Strictly Come Dancing contestant Gary Rhodes has been nicknamed "Mr. Bean" by his dance partner.

The TV chef earned the moniker after an unpromising start to his training for the BBC show.

Professional dancer Karen Hardy told Teletext: "I called him Mr. Bean as he didn't know where to put his feet and body.

"He also talks too much, but he'll get better as he's a perfectionist!"

Rhodes will be joined on the programme by celebrities including Lisa Snowdon, John Sergeant and Rachel Stevens.
