"We speak a bit – there's a lot of ventriloquism there," he admitted, before Katya demonstrated how she manages to instruct Joe, all the while maintaining her dazzling smile. The pair also revealed that they have cut holes in Joe's shoes to help ease the pain caused by so much dancing. "My toes are sore!" the actor added. "We dance for eight hours a day."

Host Lorraine also took the opportunity to quiz Joe on recent reports romantically linking him to fellow contestant Mollie King. "Isn't it mad! There was a photo of you with Mollie and all of a sudden, you're going out with her," she remarked. "You have to watch that. Don't be photographed!"

"That's the thing," Joe replied. "Certain newspapers get a photograph and build a story around the photograph. They're chomping at the bit for anything they can get about it. That's why we do have to be careful because they get these long lenses… You do have to be careful because people want to know anything."
