He said: “So, we’ve just done a full routine. My heart rate gets to about 180 or something , I just don’t know anymore.”
The out of breath sportsman zoomed in on his bloodied nose, as he told his 551,000 followers: “I am bleeding because I am working too hard. That is commitment.”

The duo are dancing the cha cha on Saturday and it’s not the first time the swimmer has taken to social media to show his exhaustion.
He joked: “Can someone help me please. Anyone, anyone?”
The 26-year-old swimmer has admitted that he will struggle with receiving criticism from the Strictly judges due to his competitive nature.
He said: “I can take criticism but if I think it was a good dance, I’ve put my heart and soul into it, hours and hours of training and a lot of hard work then if someone says it’s a three or a four then I’m not going to be happy am I.”
