He went on to tell the Loose Women panellist that he “nearly dropped” his dance partner during the difficult dress rehearsals hours before the live performance.
He confessed: “You know the one thing that’s really beautiful is that she said at the beginning of training was ‘I feel safe in your arms when you lift me’ and as the person doing the lifting that’s all you can ever hope for.
“And that makes me feel comfortable, even though we had a few wobbles and I nearly dropped her one time but I caught her.”
