He said alongside Amy: “I’ve said this from the very beginning, all I can do is go out there and do my very best.
“I am dancing against Fleur East, I went and did my best but she is phenomenal. I’ve had the best time on this show and I have a friend for life [in Amy], all I can do is thank the family, and I have a new family now.
“It’s a competition but you don’t feel like that backstage, you honestly feel like everyone has each other’s backs and everyone is just willing everyone to do their best!”
Meanwhile, Amy told him: “You came on here to show your boys they can throw themselves into any challenge in life, and you are the best role model they could ever have as their daddy!”
