Strictly Come Dancing star Tina O’Brien has said that hearing she was going home was the most terrifying experience she’s ever had.

The actress and her dance partner Jared Murillo came bottom in the public vote and Saturday, so Ricky grabbed them for a chat about their time on the series.

They also talked about The X Factor and Jared revealed his connection to the rival show!

And of course Ricky had to ask get their thoughts on Ann Widdecombe’s crazy dancing and who they reckon will take this year’s trophy…

Monday’s It Takes Two showed Jared and Tina’s Rumba from their training sessions last week. The episode is on the BBC site but it is only available for those living in the UK area. Here’s hoping we can watch it soon!

The Strictly Come Dancing site posted some exclusive interviews with the dancers a few days ago. I was hoping they’d get uploaded somewhere else so I waited to post it but it doesn’t look like they will so unfortunately I can’t tell you anything that’s mentioned! If you live in the UK area you’ll be able to watch it. Click the picture below to be taken to the interview since I can’t even embed it.

We caught up with Strictly Come Dancing performer, Jared Murillo to ask him a few probing questions about starring on the show. How does he cope with the nerves? What is his favourite dance to perform? Watch the video to find out more about your favourite pro dancer.

As we all know Jared and Tina couldn’t dance this week as she’s sick with Chicken Pox, but Jared still appeared on the show on both Saturday and Sunday. On Sat. he just did a short interview and they showed a small video of the training Jared and Tina had done, it looked like it was going to be a great routine. On Sunday he and some of the other professionals did an amazing Charleston. Make sure you watch both videos below! Here’s hoping Tina feels much better and they can dance next week.
