Simon Rimmer, 54, is married to Ali, 50, and they have two children, Florence, 19, and Hamish, 14. The pair met when they were waiting tables, and his wife makes regular appearances on his Instagram page. Speaking about his family’s reaction to his appearance on Strictly Come Dancing, Simon told the Liverpool Echo: “My wife rolls her eyes a lot. My daughter posted on Twitter that she wasn’t using her surname so people wouldn’t know she was my daughter. “My son said ‘thanks Dad, you’ve committed social suicide’ but actually he’s really enjoying it because everyone’s talking about it.”

And during an interview with the Huffington Post, he revealed his wife isn’t worried about being hit the ‘Strictly Curse’. He said: “One of our friends said to her the other week, ‘Are you not worried about the Strictly curse?’ “And she said, ‘Hold on. Let me get this straight. So you’re saying a really, really attractive, young, professional dancer is going to be attracted to my lumbering 54-year-old husband who can’t dance? No, I’m not worried.’ “She said it without even a beat, not even a second, where there was that trepidation in her voice.”

And his wife doesn’t have much hope for Simon winning the Strictly Glitter Ball trophy, and Simon continued: “There was lots of eye rolling and shaking of her head. “So I think that means she’s really, really excited about it. That’s usually what those expressions mean, isn’t it?” Simon is partnered with Karen Clifton on the popular BBC dance programme, and he recently performed a Waltz. The duo danced to to You’ll Never Walk Alone, an emotional choice for the Liverpudlian.
