Krishnan Guru-Murthy reveals shock new career move following BBC Strictly Come Dancing stint
ok.co.ukKrishnan Guru-Murthy has announced a big career switch, following his time on Strictly Come Dancing.The 53 year old journalist from Channel 4 News was paired with professional dancer Lauren Oakley on the popular BBC show, but they were voted off earlier this month after losing to Angela Rippon and Kai Widdrington in the dreaded dance-off.
However, Krishnan has now revealed that his stint on the show has inspired him to pursue a career in music. He shared that seeing his son Jay, 16, perform at Glastonbury Festival with his band Askew, motivated him to reunite his own rock band after many years apart. "I got him into guitars and now I'm thinking of getting a band back together," he told The Times.
Krishnan has previously mentioned his brief music career, revealing that his old bandmate Tim Hincks introduced him to his wife. "Tim worked with me on a show and introduced me to Lisa, who worked with his wife, Pippa.
