Will Best welcomes son Sonny while continuing on Strictly Come Dancing
Strictly Come Dancing star Will Best and fiancée Tobi Rose have welcomed a son, Sonny.

Best is competing on the BBC dance show with professional partner Dianne Buswell, while Rose is recovering from the birth.
Best has continued rehearsing and has not missed the show.
He said the trips between training and the hospital have been tiring, and that learning a jive on little sleep is a challenge.
Buswell has offered patience and advice as a fellow new parent.
Best is set to dance a jive to Elton John’s “Crocodile Rock” during Icons Week.
Will Best and his fiancée, Tobi Rose, welcomed their first child, a boy named Sonny, on Sunday, October 11.
