Matt Dawson’s Creamy Turkey Korma
Phil says: “ I was very impressed with Matt’s soft shoe shuffle in Strictly Come Dancing – this is a man who obviously looks after himself. Matt also knows his way around a kitchen, as well as a dance floor and rugby pitch. I think a lot of voters will go for his curry.”
