Anton Du Beke reveals he was stabbed by his dad because he hated him being a dancer
Strictly Come Dancing star Anton Du Beke has revealed his father stabbed him when he was a young man due to his career choice.
"And I said ‘he’s in there with a knife’ - anyway they carted him off and I ended up in hospital for three or four days." Anton added: “My only concern was getting back into the studio and dancing - and the embarrassment of it really. I’d say I’d pulled a hamstring. “My Dad was not so impressed with Anton dancing, he used to call him gay,” she says sadly. “He took a turn against Anton. My dad’s drinking affected his mood, he wasn’t a nice person when he was drunk. He was mean.”
The ballroom champ and Strictly judge, who is now happily married to Hannah, with whom he has six-year-old twins George and Henrietta, says he doesn’t dwell on the past or on his father, who has since died. He fights back tears as he tells Kate that his mother isn’t in the studio because she’s been unwell - and that he owes everything he’s become to her.“She funded everything. I had nothing. I left school - I didn’t take a single exam. No academic qualifications whatsoever. The mantra in our house was get a job and work. Mum would prop me up financially, I’d turn up with a cheque for my lesson.
