A father-of-one stunned his wife of twenty-five years after revealing his secret love of POLE DANCING. 52-year-old Andrew Knox, confessed to Carole, 50, when she discovered his stash of skimpy hot pants and pole fitness DVDs at their home in Felixstowe, Suffolk. Determined to improve his health and get fit, Andrew took up pole classes, but did not tell wife Carole, fearing she would demand he hang up his hot pants. Andrew says: "I knew it was an unusual form of fitness and I was worried about what she might think."
