Welcome to Curtis Heavy Haulage.
POLITICAL reporter-turned-dancer John Sergeant waltzed into Scunthorpe yesterday to record an interview with a local businessman.
Mark Curtis, manager of the M Curtis Ltd abnormal loads transport company, was the subject of the piece, to be broadcast on BBC1's The One Show in April.
Speaking exclusively to the Scunthorpe Telegraph, Mr Sergeant said he felt he had something to owe the town.
He said: "Years ago, when I was a student comic, I used to sing a song about Scunthorpe called Tell Scunthorpe I Love Her.
"I don't think it was a great success because I can't sing and I have always felt a bit guilty, that I hadn't really done my bit for this great town."
Mr Sergeant also discussed his stint on the television series Strictly Come Dancing, where he controversially resigned after viewers persistently kept him in the contest despite his low marks from the judges.
Mr Curtis of St Paul's Gardens, Scunthorpe, said his company had gone from strength to strength over the last five years.
He also said he was looking forward to appearing on national television.
