Dancing his heart out

HE is the worst dancer to ever take to the floor on the rating smash Dancing with the Stars, but David Graham believes he deserves to stay on the show.

Despite stunning dance routines, both Tatiana Grigorieva and Todd Woodbridge have been voted off.

Meanwhile, Graham continues to defy the judges by sailing through the rounds.

Graham earned an all-time low score of four points from the show's four judges for his Paso Doble routine two weeks ago.

"I kind of wear that score as a badge of honour," Graham said.

"I belong there as much as anyone else because I am putting in the hours, I am putting in the effort.

"The judges are saying 'You are out of your league'. Well bugger them. I am giving it my all and the viewers are saying he does belong there."

Graham showed he was improving, placing third in a beginner's dance competition at Jupiter's Casino on the Gold Coast yesterday.

"I can't believe it. I can dance!" he said.

"I decided to pit myself against some other dancers to see how I measured up and to get some other judges' scores.

"I only had one day to practise with the girl I was dancing with because I could not dance with Eliza (Campagna, his DWTS partner) in the competition."

Graham, who outed himself as gay while a housemate on Big Brother last year, voiced his support for singer Anthony Callea who revealed last month that he was gay.

"I think it is amazing that Anthony has come out at the time of his own choosing," he said.
