‘It’s an instant thing and you have to go with your gut feeling, ‘ he pointed out.
“Many times on the show we argue, because he all look at stuff from the eyes of our own experience”.
She said that the father-of-three did not get the reaction viewers were shown when he faced her in the slightly pre-recorded dance-off on Sunday night.
