Nathan Sykes has admitted he's reduced to tears when he watches his former bandmate Jay McGuiness perform on 'Strictly Come Dancing' every week.

The Wanter singer, 22, has revealed he finds himself sitting in front of the television with tears streaming down his face when he sees her friend take to the dance floor with his professional partner Aliona Vilani week-in and week-out.

Speaking on the programme before Jay, 25, performed his passionate Paso, Nathan said: "I'm like there sobbing every week, He's just doing so well. I'm just so proud of him."

And Nathan wasn't the only one who liked Jay's feisty dance as judge Bruno Tonioli got a little hot under collar, stood up and referred to the hunk's moves as "the bull's b*****ks."

He said: "Oh yes, those are the bull's b*****ks. He really went for it. Your arms were like the wings of a flamingo."

Presenter Tess Daly was later forced to apologise for the Italian judge's foul-mouthed outburst on nation television.

Meanwhile, Jay and Aliona's Paso secured them an impressive combined score of 33 points from the judges.

But their future in the competition will rely on the public's votes, with the next contestant to be given the boot being revealed tonight (25.10.15) at 7.15pm on BBC One.
