Let’s be honest. Dave Arch spends his Saturday nights standing behind Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman. They look like they’re having a giggle. They’re wearing glitter. He’s wearing a sensible suit. You’d think there might be some jealousy, right?
But here’s the thing: Dave Arch is a professional. He’s all business. There are zero rumors of any flirtation. None. Zip. He’s the most faithful man on television. Even his eyebrows don’t wander.
Jane probably watches from home and thinks, “Yep, that’s my guy. Making other people look good. He’ll be home by 10 pm with a takeaway curry.” That’s true love, folks. It’s not the red carpet. It’s the reliable bass line.
Do They Have Kids? A Tiny Peek into the Nest
Yes, they have a son. His name is Sam. And Sam is apparently very musical. Surprise, surprise. The apple doesn’t fall far from the keyboard. Sam plays drums. So imagine the family jam sessions. Dad on piano, son on drums, Jane… possibly covering her ears with a “I love you both but please stop” smile.
Strictly's musical director Dave Arch’s life off screen - with Claudia
You won’t find Sam on Strictly (yet). The Arch family is not about fame. They’re about craft. About turning up, doing the work, and then going home to a normal life. It’s refreshing, isn’t it? In an age of influencers, they’re just… influ-softer.
There are no leaked holiday photos. No “Arch family vlog” on YouTube. They’re an enigma. And frankly, that makes me love them more.
