During an appearance on It Takes Two, Michelle told host Zoe Ball: “I could be more confident, this one is ok but it’s not sticking [in my head] because it’s fast.
“This is harder because I’m on my own, I’m on my own!”
She clarified: “For 80 per cent of the dance I’m by myself.”
But Giovanni stepped in to explain he “trusts” his partner to be left alone.
