The winner of Strictly's 2016 competition spoke to HELLO! about expecting his first child, revealing that his bride "loves being pregnant". Speaking about Portia's pregnancy, he said: "Yes, it's going really well. I look at my wife now and I generally I didn't think she could get any more beautiful… She will come in from work and I will be like a puppy coming to the door, just so excited to see her. This beautiful bump that she is growing, and she is amazing, she is generally just so amazing."

He added: "I can't wait, I actually can't wait. She loves being pregnant and she is going to be the most amazing mum, I'm going to have a good time! It's going to be cool, exciting year." Ore, 31, also opened up about this year's contestants on the dancing show, and offered advice to the 15 celebrities. "They just have to embrace it," he said. "It will be one of, if not the most, incredible experience of your lives but Strictly is like a steam train, it will come at you and if you're not ready you will get blown away because its full on, its intense, the training is hard and there is so much going on with it."

Ore also revealed that he wasn't rooting for any particular celeb in the 2017 show, admitting that he thinks it puts too much pressure on them to do well. "I am not picking out any names this year," he said. "I know what it's like at this stage in the competition because you are so nervous, really anxious and just want to get that first live show out of the way, so the worst thing that you want is your name to be singled out, whether it's good or bad, as soon as your name gets put in there and you go, 'Oh so and so thinks I'm going to be awful or awesome.'"
The Strictly Come Dancing Live UK tour, featuring Ore Oduba as host, runs from 19 January until 11 February. For venues and tickets, visit strictlycomedancinglive.com
