Paul and Ola Exclusive Training Video
|16:40 UK time, Friday, 17 September 2010
Looks like Ola's got her work cut out for her as cheeky Paul begins his dancing journey!
Internationally famous through his TV series The Paul Daniels Magic Show, Paul's used to the odd sequin and a glamorous partner - but will the judges be spellbound by his moves on the dance floor?
Is Paul the one to watch? Do you think he still has a few tricks up his sleeve? Catch the first glimpse of their training in our exclusive clip below.

Ola certainly looks like she's enjoying it at least, which is good considering the task she faces to get Paul through a few weeks! :)

Loved the Paul/Ola clip. I will never be able to Cha Cha Cha without Tea!
I'm looking forward to their performance(s). I've a feeling it's going to be the highlight of the show.
Love the blog.

He's not anywhere near as bad a dancer as I thought he'd be either.
Paul, your hips in the latin will come good if you get your footwork right - heels and toes, straight and bent legs, rise and fall - ask Ola, she'll explain. Over the top hips on older male dancers can be really offensive anyway, so don't worry too much about them just yet and work really hard on getting your feet right instead. Nice straight back, nice head line, not frightened to give it a good go. Practice, practice, practice Paul - every second you can get.
Liking it - quite a lot, surprisingly.
