Dani Dyer wants to bring X-rated West Ham chant to Strictly ballroom but admits BBC 'wouldn't be able to play it'

Dani Dyer, 30, has revealed she would love to dance on Strictly Come Dancing to the infamous West Ham chant about her and husband Jarrod Bowen — but admits the BBC could never air it uncensored. The crude terrace song, sung to the tune of Gala's 'Freed From Desire', ends with an X-rated line about her relationship with the Hammers captain. Bowen, 29, watched from the Strictly studio audience as his wife made the admission.

Her professional partner Nikita Kuzmin, 28, said: 'As much as we would love to, with the chant included, we probably couldn't — what a shame!'

Dani's son Santiago already sings his own cleaned-up version from the back seat of the car: 'Bowen's on fire and he's kissing Dani Dyer.'
