If you are a fan of Strictly Come Dancing (SCD) you were probably glued to the TV screen on Saturday night.
You might not have realised it, but the posh-looking one-man-band at the end of the programme was none other than Jake Rodrigues from the Isle of Wight.
Musician, performer and music teacher
You may have seen Jake perform over the years with various other Isle of Wight musicians and bands. He’s now a freelance musician, performer and music teacher living in London and clearly in demand!
His sons are massive SCD fans and had no idea their Dad would be appearing on the programme. We imagine their faces were a picture when Jake suddenly appeared next to Claudia Winkleman at the end of the show.
Watch again
You can watch Mr Rodrigues’ fine performance via BBC iPlayer (skip to 1.58 if you’d prefer to miss the actual dancing).
