Image source, Hugo Glendinning
Choreographer Matthew Bourne has just put out a statement following the death of dancer Jonathan Ollivier, who was starring in his show The Car Man. He wrote:
Quote Message
Yesterday we lost our Swan and our Car Man - Jonathan Ollivier was one of the most charismatic and powerful dancers of his generation.
Quote Message
An intensely masculine presence tempered with tenderness and vulnerability made him the perfect casting for a string of triumphant roles in the New Adventures repertory including The Swan, the enigmatic Speight in Play Without Words and his final role as Luca in The Car Man, which he was due to dance at last night's final performance at Sadler's Wells.
Quote Message
A man of great warmth and charm, Jonny was a true gent, loved and respected by his colleagues and adored by audiences who were mesmerised by his memorable performances on stage as well as his friendly and genuine personality at the Stage Door. He was also an inspiration and role model to several generations of young dancers who strived to emulate his enviable technique and majestic stage presence.

'Splits by September'published at 08:55
"I’ve just turned 50 this year and I’ve got to start dancing properly. I can’t go into dad dancing."
That is what Jeremy Vine says about why he is going on Strictly Come Dancing this autumn.
The broadcaster has just been speaking about the decision on Chris Evans' BBC Radio 2 show.
Jeremy said: "Classic journalist – I’ve got this notebook where I’ve written down a list of questions and the first question is, do I have to do the splits?"
"I can’t. I want to try to be doing the splits by September."
He had better get in training - this year's series begins at the start of September.
Jeremy has also written a blog post under the heading Why I Am Doing Strictly: I Want To Move Like Jagger, external.
