Overview

• Clarke said he pinched a nerve in his back when a rehearsal handstand went wrong and was sent for urgent physiotherapy.
• He reported four physio sessions in the week and midweek acupuncture to manage the pain before the live show.
• Training time was cut, with frequent stops as the pain flared, which partner Alexis Warr described as his most frustrated week.
• Despite limited rehearsal, the pair delivered a Paso Doble that scored 30 points and placed them third on the leaderboard.
• Clarke shared the details on The Useless Hotline with Warr, and the couple were confirmed safe for week three with a Movie Week routine set to Soda Pop from K-pop Demon Hunters.
