Outgoing Strictly Come Dancing competitor Phil Tufnell has admitted that whilst he loved being on the BBC show, he will be glad to go back to his own life.

Strictly Come Dancing competitor Phil Tufnell has admitted that he is struggling with this week’s dance, the Viennese Waltz.
It seems he is struggling with the less sassy, more romantic routine.
Phil told fans on his Twitter page: “Only trouble with Viennese Waltz is I have to be romantic, any ideas?”
Earlier this week he remarked: “Frustrating day today I just couldn’t get it. Katya even threw a pen at me, I deserved it I think.”
Phil Tufnell’s wife has described her husband as a “lazy sod”.
Speaking to Now, Dawn Tufnell has said that rehearsing for Strictly has been hard work for the laid back sportsman.
“He thought Strictly would be a laugh, but Katya has had to take him in hand,” she said.
“He can be a lazy sod! At least this gets him off the couch.”

Phil Tufnell has admitted that he isn’t the most committed Strictly Come Dancing contestant, revealing that he often practices for less than half the time of the the other celebrities.
Phil and partner Katya Virshilas will make their solo debut on the show tonight, when they will perform a slow waltz.
Tufnell told The Mirror: “I think we are going to be the bad ballroom couple of Strictly this year. We don’t spend nine hours every day training. It’s more like three to four.
Phil Tufnel is said to have angered his Strictly Come Dancing partner Katya Virshilas by his lack of commitment to the show.
Tufnell allegedly skipped dance rehearsals last week, leaving Virshilas high and dry.
A source told the Daily Mail: “This is Katya’s first time on Strictly and she really wants to do well. Obviously it’s down to the public how far they both get, but she wants to put on the best possible performance.

He moaned: “It should be at least 20. I have to wear high heels niiice. My God wot have I done? I’m bricking it, I’m going to need all the support I can get.”
