He may have two left feet and no rhythm, but that won't stop him waltzing around the clock. 

Lee Marsh is to lead a 24 hour ballroom dance in aid of Diabetes UK this weekend. 

It's the latest in a series of fundraisers by a group dubbed The Musketeers who have raised £50,000 for various deserving causes.

Over a 24 hour period, from 6pm on Friday (November 10) at Boldre War Memorial Hall in the New Forest, Lee will take on over 300 dances with various partners.

He told the Daily Echo: "I am new to dancing and only started lessons three months ago and am currently learning the Waltz, Fox Trot, Tango, Salsa, Rumba and Cha Cha Cha.

"Recovering from surgery, having two left feet and no rhythm is all part of the challenge, it would be too easy otherwise!

"The challenges that I take on are a bit different!

"The dancing came about as I wanted to do something for Diabetes UK after a few friends and relatives were diagnosed with having it and at the time it sounded like a good idea. My wife Sharon and my eldest daughter Natalie are both dancers, Sharon has tried several times to get me dancing but without any luck, until now!"
