Simon Webbe, who is currently starring on Strictly Come Dancing, has said that he thought the competition would be easier.

Speaking to Zoe Ball on It Takes Two, the former Blue star said: “To be honest I didn’t know what I was signing up for until I started training.

“You know with Blue and being a performer, it’s like I could do it with my eyes closed. I didn’t realise just how technical and hard it was going to be.”

Simon, who said he prefers energetic dances to slow routines, also mentioned that Len Goodman was right in saying he was thinking too much about what move was coming next.

“I’m normally really good at hiding my emotions but in the rumba I was just thinking, ‘Yeah, what’s next?” continued 36-year-old Simon.

This weekend, Simon and his dance partner Kristina Rihanoff will dance the Charleston.
