FORGET Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly because we have our very own dancing Dermot O’Leary.

The Colchester celebrity’s 24-hour danceathon raised more than £660,000 for Comic Relief and the money will be distributed to charities at home and abroad.

Proud Colchester resident Terri Candler said: “Well done Dermot, the money you raised will help so many people. You are a star.”
