The dad-of-two will once again take to the ice-rink with skating partner Isabelle Gauthier and battle against his fellow celeb skaters in a bid to make it into the following week's show.

But after scoring a dismal 11 and 12.5 points in the past two weeks, consecutively, the TV presenter insists that it's simply because skating mentors Torvill and Dean are putting him on a pedestal and challenging him harder than his rivals.

Speaking to metro.co.uk, he said: 'Compared to others, I'm getting marked quite low. My problem is that Torvill and Dean have got a little bit more faith in me than maybe have in myself. 'They give me really tough moves and if you pull it off, you're scoring over 20, but if you don't, you're getting 11s.

'If I was to get a routine, like I think half of the others get, I might be able to do it to the point where I could get a respectable 15 or 16. I suppose you just have to trust that you're going to come good at some point.'

The 31-year-old is also battling with live-show nerves, claiming he never manages to pull of as good a performance as he does in rehearsals.

'I really get frustrated at the fact that I don't seem to be able to take my training form onto the show, it really annoys me. I need to sort that out.

'I can bash out the spins no problem but when it comes to the show, a few factors get added in such as you're used to training in light and then when you perform on the night, you're in darkness.

'Plus we only have three days after getting choreography to get the routine together. I mean that just completely terrifies me. It seems like it’s a bit of an uphill struggle,' he added.
