Overview
- Appearing on It Takes Two, Clarke said performing the Rumba to Lily Allen’s cover of Somewhere Only We Know means “so much more” and he is working to manage the pressure.
- Clarke and partner Alexis Warr reached week eight after scoring 34/40 for a Viennese Waltz to Queen’s Somebody to Love.
- Judges were split on that Waltz, with Shirley Ballas praising his footwork and Craig Revel Horwood disputing that assessment.
- Clarke says the Rumba feels exposing and that performing still feels “really strange” because it is outside his usual comfort zone.
- Commentators and betting reports have cast him as a leading contender, even as he says he would put his money on Alex Kingston or Vicky Pattison to win.
