Strictly's Anton Du Beke secretly spent three days in hospital after being stabbed by his dad
Anton Du Beke has revealed he spent three days in hospital after he was stabbed in the stomach and the leg by his father on Boxing Day while he was living at the family home in Kent.
Appearing on Kate Garraway’s Life Stories, he said: “The alcoholism and the violence… towards me, because I was a boy, a young man I suppose. Anton said he was sure his family and friends did not know about the attack because he never saw any gain from speaking about his ordeal, telling Garraway: “I’m a forward looker…I don’t like to look back, I like to look forward.”
The professional dancer told host Garraway: “I can’t really believe I’m talking to you about this. I should’ve glossed over this.Kate said Anton’s father was cleared in court of wounding his son and when he died, Du Beke did not attend his funeral.
