"A little treat for you… The @burrowstrictlyball was a wonderful success last night. So many people worked hard to make it special and one of the highlights was this jive from @nadiyabychkova & @kaiwidd. It was AMAZING!" he said alongside the clip.

"I asked them a few months ago if they wanted to be involved and they were so keen to support Rob - who you can see in the background of the video - and the charity. Nadiya is a superstar and moved heaven and earth to be at the event… she flew in especially for it! It was lovely to see how many people were excited to see her there."

He added: "Just a little insight... they only choreographed it on Thursday (for a few hours) and then smashed it out of the park last night in Leeds for @rob7lindsey.

"What an absolutely pleasure to be in the presence of such pure talent… all the Strictly pros are amazing and you can also see (and hear) @katyajones as chief cheerleader / screamer. What a dance! What a night! What a family and bunch of friends Rob has. Loads of money raised for @leedshospcharity," he said at the end.
