Dancing on Ice champion Joe Swash has claimed that he’s the show’s worst-ever winner.
The former EastEnders actor, 38, was back on our screens on Saturday evening to win some money for the Ben Kensella charity on Celebrity Catchphrase.
He appeared on the ITV game show alongside ex-Coronation Street Katie McGlynn and comedian Richard Ayoade.
Host Stephen Mulhern quizzed Joe on his winning streak after previously coming first place on spot on both I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and Dancing on Ice.
Joe replied: “I think I’ll probably go down in history as one of the worst ice-skaters to have ever won that show and i’l alright with that.”

Joe and his professional skating partner Alex Murphy won the twelfth series of Dancing on Ice last year.
The pair beat Diversity star Peri Kiely and Vanessa Bauer in the tense final and are the current reigning champions of the skating show.
Catchphrase presenter Stephen went on to point out that Joe’s fiancée Stacey Solomon had previously appeared on Celebrity Catchphrase.
Joe said: “Yeah thats the thing. We’re both as good as each other. However, when she came on the show, she did rubbish.”
Loose Women star Stacey, 31, was left gobsmacked as Joe got down on one knee and asked her to be his wife.

She admitted that she couldn’t stop crying after Joe asked her to marry him in the woods with their children.
She said: “My hand is still shaking and every time I touch something and look down I remember and cry.”
An emotional Stacey added: “It’s been the weirdest day ever. Thank you so much for all your lovely messages.”
Joe then chipped in saying: “She’s my fiancé!” and kissed her on the head.
Her voice cracking, Stacey added: “Happy Christmas Eve. For anyone wondering, yep I was wearing a Norm jumper, reindeer ears and my slippers.
“I thought we were just going for a walk in the park but… I love you all.”
Joe made his move on a walk in the woods opposite their house with her two sons Leighton, eight, Zachary, 12, and their child Rex, one.
Joe and Stacey are set to tie the knot later this year.
