Couples rehearse in Elstree Studios on a Friday, and also do a dress run on Saturday, and while these moments are recorded, they don't typically make it to air. But on Tuesday, Tony shared a snippet from his rehearsal footage that saw the former footballer take a tumble! At the end of his routine, Tony threw himself onto his chair, and ended up falling off of it backwards.

Giggles from other cast members could be heard as the moment unfolded, as well as a scream as Tony took his fall.
In his caption, Tony joked: "I'm not sure how @CraigRevHorwood and @ShirleyBallaswould have marked this from rehearsals…"
Thankfully, the star wasn't injured during the moment and performed his cha-cha-cha to the theme of Grandstand on Saturday night.

Even though viewers got Tony to the next part of the competition, others were unimpressed that he kept surviving, despite appearing at the bottom of the leaderboard most weeks, and declared the result a "fix".

"Not every week comes out as perfect as we rehearse, fears and nerves still show up. But as long as you're here to support our journey and want to see us dance - we shall keep going and give our everything!"
