Strictly Come Dancing star George Clarke has revealed he watched the pre-recorded launch show alone at home with a takeaway. The YouTuber, 25, told The Useless Hotline podcast that he sat by himself eating a Subway while his fellow contestants celebrated with family and friends.
Clarke explained that his flatmates were away at the time, leaving him to watch his debut on the BBC show in solitude. He said: 'I watched it at home with no one. No, I actually did! I got a Subway as well!' His co-host Max Baledge expressed shock, saying he would have thrown a party if he had known.
The star added that the show's production team asked contestants to send videos of how they were watching the episode. While others like Dani Dyer and Vicky Pattison shared clips of viewing parties, Clarke filmed himself alone in his outfit eating a Subway. Fans commented on the revelation, with one writing: 'Why do I feel bad.'
Clarke is taking part in this year's Strictly with professional dancer Alexis Warr. He recently confirmed his relationship with lingerie model Yasmin Amelia, saying he wanted to control the narrative before speculation began.
