The husband of a renowned ballroom dancer who needs 24/7 care after suffering a stroke said he could be forced to sell their home to pay for the help she needs each day.
Jane Bullock , who coached professionals for the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing, collapsed at her Wolverhampton home on 10 August 2025, after she finished teaching a class.

Her husband Warren said her life had "completely changed" and it had been a difficult time for both of them.
