Amy joined Strictly Come Dancing in 2017 and was over the moon when she was teamed with McFly star Tom, as she was a huge fan of the band when she was young.
Tom revealed his motivation for wanting to win the show, after he said he has to walk past his wife Giovanna’s crown and sceptre every morning.
She won them for being Queen Of The Castle in I’m A Celebrity last year, and his bandmate Dougie Poynter also won the show in 2011, and Harry Judd won Strictly the same year.
His friend Matt Willis of Busted also won I’m A Celebrity in 2006.
Tom said: “They’re all very talented and I guess it adds a little bit of pressure.”
