Sharing more details, professional dancer Nadiya confessed: "To be honest, until today, between Monday and Wednesday we had a few hours of eggshell training.
"But, how [Dan] puts himself together, I can see how much pain he's in but he's like, 'I'm fighting through, I love this dance and I really want to do it.' Today as we rehearsed for a few hours, he pulled it together!"

During their appearance, Dan made a hilarious confession about an incident that took place in the dance rehearsal studio. "One training secret for you, we did a big lift and I got Nadiya right up in the air and then I slightly dropped her a bit and she headbutted me in the groin," he divulged.
A shocked Janette Manrara was quick to quip: "We're going to leave it on that note!"
