Glitz an exciting new role as Matt Cardle stars in Strictly Ballroom The Musical

MATT CARDLE had an extra spring in his step last night when he made his debut in Strictly Ballroom The Musical.

The 35-year-old Time To Be Alive singer took on the role of bandleader Wally Strand in the glitzy West End adaptation of Baz Luhrmann’s 1992 hit flick.

The former X Factor champ said: ‘It’s so rare that a role comes around that you can put so much of your own stamp on. I have seen the show and it’s absolutely incredible.

‘To have the opportunity to sing all these huge songs every night is a real honour.’
