The 72-year-old TV personality joined host, Rylan Clark, on the BBC spin-off series last night (October 22).

Biggins said: “I absolutely adore them, I think they’re so exciting.
“It’s so exciting that two men are dancing together. It’s very important, just like the two girls dancing together last year.”
He added: “They’re so strong. They belong together forever – do you think think they’re having a thing?”
Rylan jokingly shut down the remark, saying: “That’s now rumours start!”
His remark didn’t go unnoticed with viewers at home, who took to Twitter to comment.
One said: “#StrictlyComeDancing #ItTakesTwo Biggins announces that he thinks Johannes and Jonathon are having a thing. Juicy Strictly Curse.”
How did Strictly fans react?
Another added: “Very naughty of you @onebiggins #ItTakesTwo.”
A third posted: “Biggins sucks but that was funny tbf.”
However, others were divided over Biggins appearing on the panel.
On Twitter, one shared: “Why is he even being given airtime!! John literally has a boyfriend who he loves very much so why is this man all trying to ruin relationships!”

So Biggins understands the importance of two men dancing together, yet still can’t wrap his tiny mind around the existence of bisexual people 🤦🏼♂️ #ItTakesTwo
