HUW Edwards wants to take part on Strictly Come Dancing after losing three stone. The BBC newsreader, 57, shed the excess weight by taking up boxing, and he now thinks he has what it takes to appear on the ballroom series. The telly star went down to just 13 stone thanks to intense training sessions with ex-pro boxer Clinton McKenzie. He said: "I think I could move a bit more now and I'm lighter on my feet.

Huw - who raises five children with his TV producer wife Vicky Flind - says his weight loss has helped him gain a new fan base.
