Strictly Come Dancing's Nigel Harman has confessed to sending Katya Jones texts at 2am when he can't sleep. The star admitted that the stress of the routine sometimes keeps him awake, and he needs to run through the dance in his head before he can drift off again.
Nigel, 50, shared with the Press Association that he finds it hard to sleep on Friday nights due to the pressure of the upcoming Saturday show. He revealed that he usually gets about four hours of good sleep before waking up.
He explained: "So basically, I [have] to lay there dancing through my dance a few times until my body goes, #Okay… you still remember it, it's okay' and then I go back to sleep."
Katya mentioned that Nigel has texted her a couple of times to confirm the routine so he can get back to sleep. However, one thing that doesn't keep him up at night is worrying about the judges' scores.
Nigel stated: "I don't have nightmares about the scoring, because that's [the judges] business. I can't influence that, I just dance."
Last night, the duo danced to Bruno Mars' Just The Way You Are and made a big splash on the dance floor.
Katya recently praised her celeb partner Nigel, calling him the "perfect student". She said: "I've been blessed with all my partners in the past and again it is a very different experience. He's really funny and he makes me laugh so much, he really does."
The pair have been doing well thanks to a mix of public votes and the judges' scores. After their success last week, Katya wrote on Instagram: "So grateful for your support, for all the lovely comments and appreciation."
"We talk every week about what are we trying to deliver through our dance. We want you to turn on your tele on Saturday nights and be entertained, be left feeling something."
She ended the statement with: "I am so lucky to have such a talented partner to create magic with for another week."
Saturday's show saw Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin top the Strictly scoreboard with their Argentine Tango – however, fans were outraged that Craig Revel Horwood "robbed" them of full marks.
“I swear it must be in Craig’s contract that he can’t give out a 10 before Blackpool or something because Layton and Nikita were just ROBBED of their well deserved perfect 40," one viewer wrote on social media.
