The 27-year-old appeared on the ITV show on Friday to talk to Kaye Adams, Linda Robson, Myleene Klᴀss and Nadia Sawalha

The dancer spoke about his family that are over in the Ukraine 

‘The fact that it’s not in the news anymore, it doesn’t give it anymore attention, it’s not much help. 

‘But obviously the government are trying to help and I’m really grateful for that.

‘And I hope everybody will be as safe as possible.’

The dancer then got emotional and wiped his eyes and added: ‘I would just love everybody to be safe.’

‘It’s heartbreaking to be honest, really hard to talk about in some way.’

‘I’ve always dreamt of it. It’s been four years in the making. It’s finally happening. 

‘It’s the most beautiful story that you don’t often see in the strictly tours.’
