He has already taken to social media to have a laugh about the situation – posting a video captioned: “If I get the pen in the cup I will get a celeb partner this year” before throwing his pen in the opposite direction.
He has kept a positive attitude, stating “no matter with or without a partner I just love being part of strictly”.
