Strictly Come Dancing's James Bye struggled to fight back tears after host Tess Daly 'made him cry' by talking to him about his two sons. The moment even left fans watching from home emotional as the EastEnders actor became the fifth celeb in the 2022 series to leave the show, the Mirror reports.
After losing out to fellow contestant Fleur East in a dance off on Sunday night (Oct 30), Tess reminded James of how well he's done in the BBC competition and congratulated him on getting this far. She then went on to tell him that his two young boys were proud of him, which seemed to tip an already emotional James over the edge.
Tearing up, James told her: "Don't tell me that, Tess," to which she replied: "I think it's safe to say you've done that. You really have." James then put his hands to his eyes, adding: "Don't say that." Tess apologised for making him so emotional.
