James Bye teared up as he received a video message from his family amid his tough Strictly Come Dancing schedule.
The EastEnders star has been busy filming for the BBC One soap as well as rehearsing day and night for his stint on the Latin and ballroom show. His busy schedule has meant its been tough for him to balance his dance rehearsals and filming for the soap with spending time with his family including his three kids - Edward, aged eight, Louis, six, and Hugo, three.
James appeared on Strictly: It Takes Two tonight to chat about his and Amy Dowden's Guardians of the Galaxy dance. For the routine, the actor dressed as Chris Pratt's character Star-Lord while Amy painted herself green to look like Gamora.
