Councillor Howard Sykes MBE wants to congratulate the Oldham born Kelvin Fletcher. The star won BBC Strictly Come Dancing with dance partner Oti Mabuse on Saturday 14th December. After dancing the Rumba, the pair were in tears as they were handed the famous Glitterball Trophy. This is given to winners of the show.
From their Samba in week one to the Rumba in the Final show, Kelvin was the nation’s popular favourite during the competition.
Councillor Sykes goes on to say: “It is inspiring to see the dedication and conviction of someone from the local area. I hope that Kelvin’s passion during the competition makes others in Oldham Borough think that they are worthy of similar achievements.”
“I hope we see more of the great talent we have to offer locally on our screens very soon. People need to realise their uncorked potential. This is something the Council could encourage more.”
