Crack-smoking Toronto mayor's strictly routine
He's admitted smoking crack cocaine and allegedly suggested that a reporter on a local newspaper was a paedophile but now the disgraced mayor of Toronto has been further humiliated – by his vigorous 'dad dancing'.
Bealeagured politician Rob Ford was more than happy to risk what shred of dignity he had left by performing an embarrassing dance routine during Christmas festivities in the city's council chamber.
The rather chubby mayor Ford worked up quite a sweat with his hand waving and gyrating to Bob Marley's One Love, which was greeted with amusement by most of his colleagues.
Ford, who has been stripped of most of his powers after he admitted smoking crack cocaine, mopped his sweaty brow after enthusiastically joining in with the celebrations.
His latest low point comes just days after pictures emerged of him clapping, singing and dancing bizarrely in front of a gospel congregation at the predominantly black West Toronto Church of God, where one churchgoer remarked that he 'smells like ganja'.
The controversial 44-year-old has been plagued by a string of damaging stories since video emerged of him smoking a crack pipe.
This week he insisted he did not intend to suggest during a television interview that a Toronto Star reporter is a paedophile.
Rejected
But the journalist rejected the apology and said he would proceed with a defamation lawsuit, although that has subsequently been dropped after the mayor issued an apology.
So far Ford has rebuffed intense pressure to resign. and has even vowed to seek re-election next year.
