- On ITV's Lorraine, Przystal dodged a reference to seeing former partner Pete Wicks after reports of three on-stage kisses at the O2 over the weekend.
- Betfred moved King out to 100/1 from 66/1 after the launch, with Lewis Cope leading the market and Dani Dyer and Ellie Goldstein close behind.
- King's Cinderella pantomime runs in Southend from December 13 to January 4, and the production states he will not perform on December 20 due to Strictly commitments.
- During the interview, King spoke warmly about his late father saying he would have adored Przystal, while the pro urged him not to write off their chances.
