The Happy Mondays star opened up to Wales Online about his move to the countryside. "It's been a revelation to me - to the way I live and think. It's done me good, and I've made some great friends. Everyone's treated me very kindly, and it's been a really interesting place to live."

Despite his low scores so far and testing positive for Covid during the show, Bez is persevering with the competition, skating alongside partner Angela Egan.
