Anton Du Beke: Strictly pro's rare insight with wife as he says 'Rather nobody came round'

Meanwhile, Anton took to Twitter and requested a recount of the Strictly votes after a social media user predicted it was his year to win the BBC show despite being eliminated from the competition last week.

The person in question penned: “Strictly Come Dancing continues tonight on @BBCOne

“Who’s your favourite so far? Could this be @TheAntonDuBeke year?”

In view of his 252,000 followers, Anton quipped: “Appreciate the support, but you may need to request a recount on last week’s vote!”
