A couple of keen dancers are preparing to waltz the night away.

Simon and Karlyn Westwood, from Bounds Green, will perform the waltz at North London Hospice’s Dancing Strictly contest next month.

So far, they have raised more than £870.

Mr Westwood, a freelance training consultant, said: “We are trying to rediscover our ability to dance, so we’ll try our best. It’s for a terrific cause.”
