I did have to turn down things in the past, which I was upset about sometimes, but I understood I was part of 'Strictly Come Dancing.'

People see me with sparkles and fake tan but nobody knows what I am like!

Me and my brother are so focused on working together, building our careers.

I like to be in bed by nine and asleep by ten. I like to wake up early, go to the gym at 7am, that's my regime.

I exercise to stay physically fit.

I like to be very, very regimented and very OCD in my routine.

I watched 'Strictly' and thought, 'That's pretty cool.' But as a child, this was the show that I was like, 'Oh, my god. I want to go on 'I'm A Celeb.''

I want to be one of those old-fashioned entertainers.

Sir Bruce Forsyth, God rest his soul, he could dance, he could entertain, he could do whatever was asked of him.

I had four fantastic years on 'Strictly' and they were honestly the best moments of my life - meeting friends, just seeing the whole team work.

This endless violence in the U.K. has to stop.

Seeing my dad crying is the worst.

If I'm hungry, I get very angry. If I don't have caffeine, my coffee or my energy drink, I get even more angry. Then I like to snack, then I get more angry because I've had a snack.

Doing 'I'm A Celebrity' is a childhood dream come true.

I want to show people what I'm about - not just, 'Here's my celebrity partner this year that I'm going to showcase.'

My brother is my best friend by choice and a superman.

Peter Pan has been one of my dream roles since I was a child.

It's always been a dream of mine to have my own show.

There are dances you can do separately - your charleston, your jive.

I've had four fantastic years on 'Strictly Come Dancing,' but for us it's about moving forward and the end goal is to present a shiny-floored Saturday night TV show that we all love, for example, 'Strictly,' 'Britain's Got Talent' - those sort of shows.

People are going to make their own minds up, and seeing how happy people are together and how much fun they're having, people are always going to think 'ooh are they in a relationship? They look so happy together.'

Dance is about portraying and telling a story and whether that be two males, two females, a group of guys, or a group of girls, it doesn't matter as long as the story is beautiful.

When it comes down to dance, dance is about movement to music.

Within the dancing world, where we come from, there's a lot of same-sex partners as in, young girls dancing because there's not always enough boys to dance.

I like to be very much in control.

I don't like to beat around the bush.

When you do 'Strictly,' you're kind of restricted. You have to dance for 90 seconds, you have to choreograph for your partner.

People ask me who I'd like to dance with. I think that Lucy Fallon - she's seems... She's a good height. I saw her at a party once and I thought, blonde, yep - perfect. Lifts, we could work it.

I'm open to finding love.

I think the best way to explain my brother is that he's infectious and everybody falls in love with him.

Honestly my brother has always supported me through everything and I can't wait to support him 100 per cent.

I've got a tattoo, my mum's fine with that.

I won't miss Monday morning rehearsals in a freezing studio at 8 A.M. I will happily never do that again.

Some days I would work 18-hour days because I was dancing and choreographing.

Strictly' is so positive, we have so much fun doing a show like 'Strictly,' you don't have to worry.

The thing with perfection is that it's never perfect.

Perfect score... it should never happen! There is always room for improvement.

Whatever I tackle I like to attack a situation, hit it head on, go for it.

The thing is, with doing our TV show 'Strictly,' and 'Stand Up For Cancer' and any shows I do for TV, it's always so positive.

When I was asked to take part in 'Celebrity Hunted' I jumped at the chance, who wouldn't want to run wild around the U.K. for two weeks being chased by a top secret service type team, whilst raising money for a cause very close to my heart - cancer.

When you're out dancing, you could be anywhere in the world, but it's only the dance that matters.

I think for me I was in kindergarten, so I was very young and my teacher acknowledged that I was very dyslexic when it came to reading and writing and processing that information.

If I post something on social media, like Instagram or Twitter, I never actually read the comments.

Food-wise I tend to eat pretty much what I want when I am remaining active so there are no secrets on that front, stay active and eat well and you will see results.

My aim for my dancing and fitness is to achieve flexibility in those disciplines so I am spending time to make sure I stretch after each workout or dancing session I do to give me further strength and ability.

When I am doing cardio I lose my muscle really fast because it just kills it. That's why I have to do weights in the gym: to ensure I don't lose my shape and can lift my dance partners above my head.

People ask me all the time what do I do workout-wise and how I keep in shape.

You can't be in the zone in front of 12 million people, you've got to be chill.

I loved being a part of 'Celebrity MasterChef.' The process was scary and I was so out of my comfort zone but I've learnt so much. Doing something I'd never done before put me in the position of the celebs on 'Strictly' and because of that experience, I think i'll be a better teacher because of it.

I really appreciate life and I never take anything for granted.
