TV presenter Ore Oduba has opened up about getting his son ready for school in the mornings, his dancing skills after Strictly and family life with his wife Portia
He won Strictly Come Dancing, has mastered musical theatre and hosts prime time shows for the BBC. But while Ore Oduba is a dab hand at entertaining audiences, he struggles to get ready for the school run.
“I just have to make sure that every system is in place, which is quite taxing on the brain. Everything has to have an order and I always go through it on a day-to-day basis, making sure things are exactly where they are so that when it comes to, ‘OK, we need to be out of the door by eight o’clock,’ it’s not so much of a gear change or culture shock when school returns.”
“I have him wear his shirt inside out, so when he eats breakfast or brushes his teeth, he can spill as much as he wants down the wrong side of it and then I’ll turn it around when it’s time to go.” Ore won’t be tackling it full-time this term, however, as he is in rehearsals for Pretty Woman: The Musical’s UK Tour. He is taking on the roles of Happy Man and Mr Thompson in the musical, which also stars Love Island’s Amber Davies as Julia Roberts’ character Vivian.
With the show heading on the road from next month, it’s not only time away from his family that Ore is nervous about. Ore has Strictly to thank for his new musical career, having appeared in Cinderella, Grease and Rocky Horror Show since winning the BBC competition in 2016. Will he be tuning in this year?
