The 44-year-old, who was born in Crawley, and his partner Nadiya Bychkova only got 26 points with their Cha Cha Cha t MC Hammer's You Can't Touch This.

But they were voted safely through with Judi Love and Graziano Di Prima and Karen Hauer and Greg Wise in the dance-off.

Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton du Beke voted to keep Judi and Graziano in so Greg and Karen went home. Shirley Ballas would have saved Greg and Karen if she got to vote.
