‘You are really like a pasta. I never get tired of it’ he told Samantha, to laughter from the audience.

The SAS Australia star was gracious in defeat and called the result of the competition ‘so fair’.
‘Sam and Lisa are phenomenal dancers and Alex too me as far as she could. I’m super proud to have come third’ he said.
Ant added: ‘When someone first asked me to do Dancing with the Stars, I was scared of dancing.
‘I always talk about and stepping outside of your comfort zone. This is the prime opportunity’.
