Strictly Come Dancing star Kevin Clifton has spoken out after replacing Neil Jones on the BBC One dance show on Saturday night. Kevin and Alex Scott danced together during the Halloween special
The Strictly pro danced with Alex Scott after Neil injured himself October 27, 2019 - 11:41 GMT Hanna Fillingham Strictly star Kevin Clifton saved the day on Saturday night as he stepped in last minute to dance with Alex Scott during the Halloween special. Alex's professional dance partner Neil Jones was unable to perform after injuring himself and the former football star had to teach Kevin the routine in a short space of time before the live show.
Kevin continued: "At the last minute her partner gets an injury. Has to pass the routine on to another professional in about 45mins. Then even when I made a mistake she carried on and got me through the routine. Talk about calm under pressure. Just shows how difficult it is to get to a performance on a Saturday that comes together. It also shows how far @alexscott2 has come in 6 weeks and what fantastic work @mr_njonesofficial has been doing. They both deserve so much love.
Many of Kevin's fans were quick to praise him for stepping in so quickly, with one writing: "Always vote for Alex and Neil, fab couple, well done King Kev for stepping in at the last minute. Loved it!" Another wrote: "Alex is a fighter! Loved her in that dace last night and you were okay too Kev! Imagine knowing Neil Jones and Kevin Clifton both have your back. What a team." A third added: "Great to see you dance again too Kevin.
