BBC Strictly Come Dancing’s James Bye reduces pro to tears sharing ‘one of worst experiences ever’

There were tears on Strictly Come Dancing at the weekend, and they didn't stop when the cameras stopped rolling for the main BBC show. The pair were voted off during Halloween week in the show's 20th series and Strictly star James Bye couldn't hold back his emotions live on air after host Tess Daly 'made him cry' by speaking about making his two young boys proud.. However, it was then the turn of dance pro Amy Dowden to break down.

James opened up about his exit from the hit television dancing competition as he and Amy sat down for the chat on It Takes Two with host Rylan Clarke. It was his first interview since he became the fifth celebrity eliminated from the competition.

Rylan asked James about what was going through his mind when the Strictly lights went red on him and he was confirmed for the dance-off, according to a report in the Mirror. He said: “It’s up there with one of the worst experiences of my life, especially when you know you’ve got to go against Fleur East."
