“He makes sure he plays to John’s strengths which is something I adore. He’s been watching our journey this entire series so he’s not missed a thing.

“We’ve got an Argentine, we’ve got lifts, we’ve got Charleston, it’s just everything in the pot will be served,” he added.

John also told Rylan: “It’s busier than a Destiny’s Child medley – it really is busy.”
