"It went Singin' in the Rain, Rock of Ages, The War of the Worlds, Burn the Floor, then I did The Games on ITV, Who Do You Think You Are? and then back to Singin' in the Rain on tour. Then I started rehearsals for Strictly Ballroom the day after I finished Singin' in the Rain," he told Digital Spy.

"By the time I finish in mid-July it will have been a 10-month tour of Strictly Ballroom. So, since we came out of Covid it's just been back-to-back non-stop."

He added: "So, for the rest of this year I've decided I'm going to take a break from all performing work just to be a dad. I just don't want to miss any of Minnie. So, yeah, my plan is to take a break as soon as this contract finishes."

Opening up about her struggles recently on Instagram, Stacey told her fans: "I'm so sorry I can't stop and properly hang out with you all after the shows. I'm flying solo with my baby and she's still on the boob so I have to rush off stage and get straight in cab to feed her etc and get her to bed.

"I'm SO SO SO GRATEFUL to every single person that comes along. I truly am. PIs don't think I'm being big time. I'm just tryna juggle atm...so I'm genuinely sorry if I can't sign books or have a selfie…"
