Joe has proved to be a surprise hit on the ‘Strictly’ dancefloor this series, after being partnered up with professional dancer Katya Jones.

He bagged a 10 from Head Judge Shirley Ballas for his Paso Doble last month, while his Charleston proved to be a huge hit with the judges, picking up 36 points out of a possible 40.

This week will see him and Katya take on the Salsa to ‘Ride On Time’ by Black Box, during the special live show from the Blackpool Tower Ballroom.

‘Strictly Come Dancing’ continues on Saturday at 6.45pm on BBC One.
