After a number of energetic and sometimes intense routines, it was over to the Casualty actor and his professional dance partner Katya Jones to close the much-anticipated Blackpool week show. The pair performed a quickstep to It Don’t Mean A Thing If It Ain’t Got That Swing by Duke Ellington. But kicking off the comments, Craig Revel Horwood picked fault.

But in response to the veteran broadcaster, Anton said he "didn't really care how it went," as he was going to love it anyway.
