“I’ve always banged on about wanting to get my lip ‘fixed’, I always wanted to get a little bit of filler to even it out, so I don’t look crazy. This experience has made me not want that.”Pic: Kyran O’Brien/kobpix Of course, he has the best support system, including his boyfriend Dave, who has been in the audience every week.
He laughs before telling us: “But I remember the first time I walked into the room and I was like, ‘Who is my dance partner?’ And there was just one mental case dancing in the back and she was like, ‘It’s me!’ And we clicked straight away. Within half an hour I was telling her all about my traumas!”
