Speaking on It Takes Two with his dance partner Oti Mabuse, 29, last night, the soap star voiced his concerns about the show this weekend.
He said: "We’ve had a tough day today. It’s been a really tough day.”
“It takes me ages to learn the dances. Normally by a Thursday I’m normally just learning the dance.”
"I’m praying it’s going to be enough on Saturday," he added.
