Breakfast, boogies & buddies MATTY’S DANCING ON AIR!
‘I didn’t have the easiest of times at school as a flamboyant 11-year-old’
He’s a seasoned journalist with five years under his belt on the Breakfast show, but it’s impossible to talk to Matty McLean too long without bringing up dancing.
He is a natural on the floor as many of us realised after he started posting dance videos with his co-hosts Jenny-May Clarkson and Jenny Suo during lockdown.
His moves are so good, he must have been trained.
“You’re far too kind,” laughs Matty, 35. “I haven’t been trained, but I have always loved dancing, not in a class or anything like that, but having a bit of a boogie, definitely. When I was young, I did really want to take dance lessons, but I didn’t have the easiest times at school as a flamboyant 11-year-old, so I stopped myself and I wish I’d done it now.”
Matty says the idea for the dance videos started as something silly to do duringcrew had been divided into two teams so that if one became ill, the other could keep the show going.
