The BBC Breakfast host, 44, made the decision not to join his fellow Strictly stars on the road due to work commitments.

As a video of the lobster dancer played on screen, Dan added: “I had a lovely time.”
Alex continued: “Lots of your colleagues are on the tour of course.
“When asked what dance you’d do again, you said this is the dance [the lobster] that you would do?”
Dan responded: “Yeah every time, I mean that’s the one that people talk to me about more than anything else.”
Alex added: “Well of course. And Nadiya has found a way to put a few lobster moves into the tour for you.”
