This week is one of the most important of Tom's life - and probably one of the most stressful. Not only is he getting married on Sunday, but he's also doing a dance he's dreamed of performing since the age of five. As a little boy, he wanted to be like Fred Astaire - and nailing the American Smooth live on telly is probably his biggest chance to make that dream come true. "For 26 years, I've wanted to be out there on the dance floor and to dance like Fred Astaire. This is perfect, and I'm living out my dream. It's taken time but I'm here now…"
Learning the routine isn't very easy though, and Tom initially struggles to take in all the steps. But the pressure of keeping two ladies happy - Camilla, his dance partner and Claire, his fiancée - clearly doesn't faze Tom for long, and he manages to learn the whole routine in one day, including a quite tricky-looking lift at the end! Cue many high-fives from Camilla and smiles all round…
