Type Of Speaker

Speaking of his Strictly Come Dancing experience, Mark said ‘I’ve got to the stage in my life when I want to diversify away from cricket. When I was initially asked to do the show, I said ‘no’ it’s so far from anything I’ve ever done before. I like nice normal basic sports like football and golf. But then you look at Darren Gough and you realize that you might be up to the challenge. Darren made it legit, he made me realize that you could step out of your comfort zone, and have fun and see what you could do.’

His autobiography entitled “Strictly Me – My Life Under the Spotlight” is published by Mainstream and available in the biggest bookstores around the UK.
