Kelvin Fletcher has admitted he felt guilty about replacing Jamie Laing on Strictly Come Dancing.
The Emmerdale actor, who was brought into the line-up after Jamie suffered an ankle injury, revealed he had mixed emotions when he was asked to appear on the show.
Speaking on Heart radio, he said: You know I was absolutely delighted I was ecstatic, my family were really really excited but its on the back of someone elses misfortune.
So it was a really strange feeling because I almost felt guilty about being excited and being really chuffed to do it because you know some poor guy there was absolutely gutted that we was injured and couldnt do it.
And, while some of the stars have had some experience of strutting their stuff on the dance floor, well be seeing Kelvin starting from scratch.

No pressure then, pal.
I havent done any dancing before, so it was all very new and very exposing I guess, you know you feel quite vulnerable but even then I got a sense of that enjoyment, and that sense of family and what an exciting time it could be and a great journey, the 35-year-old pointed out.
We could not be more ready.
Despite Kelvin feeling the guilt over replacing Jamie, its clear there were no hard feelings from the Made In Chelsea star after he sent a sweet congratulations message.
I just want to give a big congratulations and shout out to Kelvin Fletcher whos taken my place on Strictly this year, Jamie said in a video.
Thank you for your message, Im sending one back because obviously youre going to have the best time and youre going to rock the dance floor, I cant wait.
Oh, you two.
