Professional dancer Anton Du Beke and TV golf presenter Sarah Stirk are to co-host a new podcast where they will invite celebrity guests to discuss their love of golf and to share some of their favourite anecdotes from the course.
Available from February 21, Putt & Strut will see Strictly Come Dancing’s Anton Du Beke – a self-confessed golf fanatic – swap the dance floor for the putting green, as he joins Sky Sports presenter Sarah Stirk to look at the lighter side of the game, bringing listeners the latest news and pro tips from the world of golf.
The podcast will also see Anton and Sarah invite celebrity guests to chip in and share their love of the game, as well as some of their best golfing stories, anecdotes, and howlers.
With new episodes available weekly, Putt & Strut will also see a stellar line-up of guests from the world of television, entertainment and sport join Anton and Sarah – including Colin Montgomerie, Judy Murray, Lee Westwood, Jodie Kidd, James Nesbitt, Adrian Chiles, Tom Davis and more – to provide fun, lively conversation.
Speaking about the podcast, Du Beke said: “While most people know me more for my pasodoble than my putting, I am so excited to join the wonderful Sarah Stirk to talk about the other passion in my life – golf. What’s more, we have hit a hole in one with our fabulous line-up of celebrity guests who share some absolutely marvellous stories with us that listeners are going to love!”
Stirk added: “I am so thrilled to be teaming up with Anton to talk about all things golf, swap stories, and to laugh with our amazing guests as they rip a few fantastic anecdotes down the fairway. Putt & Strut is something we’ve had in the works for a while, and it feels fantastic to finally get the news out there.”
Chris Lander, Head of Comedy and Entertainment Podcasts at Global, said: “With Putt & Strut, we’ve hit a real birdie in bringing Anton and Sarah together for this fantastic, charming new podcast. Their chemistry together is palpable, and whether you’re a golfing fanatic or a more casual fan, this podcast offers something for everyone.”
