“Thank God it wasn’t Stephen Mulhern,” joked David Walliams.

Last year, Marc wowed the studio audience with his incredible act and his emotional back story.

He revealed that his wife Tessa had battled an aggressive form of breast cancer while she was pregnant, after five years of IVF treatment.

Tessa underwent chemotherapy while pregnant with their daughter, Isabella.
