Steve Wozniak

Steve Wozniak will be featured on the next season of Dancing With the Stars. There's not much we can tell you right now about his upcoming moves, though we will be watching with bated breath, quietly hoping for a double Lindy, the Sugarfoot, and Denise Richards being dipped on a Segway. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak isn't known for his dance moves - but now he's going to bust his best grooves in front of millions.
The programme, which is America's version of Strictly Come Dancing, is one of the biggest shows in the US. We interviewed Woz recently, and I'm led to believe that training is just about to start ahead of the show in March - although he has already been getting himself ready for the show for the past few weeks. And while Woz claims he's not much of a dancer, he also said that his god daughter had persuaded him to take part when ABC approached him about the show.
The 58-year-old might seem an unlikely candidate for a few turns around the floor (after all, he's mostly partial to Segway Polo these days) but he's not the only geek to have appeared on the show: Woz follows in the footsteps of fellow tech billionaire Mark Cuban, who took part in 2007. He's also had a brush with television recently, as a close friend of comedian Kathy Griffin, who has her own reality show.
