The 35-year-old said: “Before we get stuck in, we need to discuss something very very serious. Bobby, you’ve never watched Strictly.” Confirming this, Bobby covered his face with his hands as the EastEnders closing theme echoed in the studio.
Defending himself, the soap star responded: “I don’t know what to say. I’ve never owned a TV, that’s it. We weren’t allowed to watch TV. It’s always been a punishment at home so I guess I never had an attachment to telly growing up.”

Bobby then shifted the blame to Jeff, insisting: “It’s my dad’s fault!” Dianne, 34, who describes Bobby as her “little gemstone”, admitted she sometimes has to get get strict with her partner during training sessions.
“He is amazing to teach,” she gushed. “Every now and then I have to get a little strict but he is something so special. I think everyone that meets Bobby says the exact same thing, he just has this something about him that you can’t even describe. It’s like a little sparkle. So yeah, my little gemstone.”
