Interestingly, he says that he was more at home doing the Strictly Come Dancing live shows than the studio shows as performing live was, after all, what he was used to as a professional cricketer.
We caught up with Vaughan at Lord's where the 2013 OSCAs were held last month.

Video - Afghanistan Heroes Welcomed Home
Afghanistan's cricketers returned home following their qualification for the 2015 World Cup and a huge crowd turned out to salute their efforts.
Two dominant wins over Kenya in Sharjah booked them their place in Group A of the tournament in Australia and New Zealand, where they will play the co-hosts as well as England, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and another qualifier.
Their welcome home brought Kabul to a standstill after they were met by an official reception at the airport, driven through the city to the cricket stadium, where music and speeches greeted their presence.
"This is the first time in our cricket history that we have qualified for the World Cup. We achieved a big victory and this is a good news for the Afghan people and they are proud of it," Afghanistan Cricket Board's Shahzad Massoud said.

Video - Brett Lee Previews India-Australia ODIs
Brett Lee says that the upcoming seven-match One-Day International series in India could provide Australia with valuable preparation ahead of the Ashes.
With a hot summer forecast in Australia, Lee, who played 76 Tests, 221 ODIs and 25 Twenty20 Internationals, reckons that playing in India will be good 'heat training' for Darren Lehmann's men.
"I think it's going to be a great series for Australia because it's heat training, you know, I think back in Australia it's going to be a hot summer," he said.
"Come over here and play seven one-dayers it's going to be 45 degree heat, I think it's going to put them in very very good stead for the Australian summer.
"I think it's going to be a tough series but I know that if Australia can play the way that they can I am confident that they can put up a very good fight," he added.
Lee has not played an ODI since 2012 and now only plays Twenty20 cricket, but he claims that speculation is linking him with an ODI comeback due to his presence in India.
"Bit of speculation that I might be here to play the one-day series but I can clarify right now that the answer is no," he joked.
"Unless everyone falls off through injury and they need someone I'll of course stand up for Australia and I know that's not going to happen."
For the record, Lee had a good record against India, taking 55 wickets at 21.00 in 32 ODIs.
