Last night’s episode of It Takes Two saw Matt and Nadiya make an appearance.

The duo were on to discuss last weekend’s performance, as well as their upcoming dance in week four.

Matt and Nadiya performed a Viennese Waltz to Hold My Hand from Top Gun.

Speaking to Janette Manrara, Matt said of the dance: “I loved it. I felt very connected to the dance, and it was the first time I actually felt like a dancer.”

“It was a great feeling to execute her choreography,” he continued.

“Thankfully the British public saw the emotion and saw the dance and we’re still here,” he added.

Matt and Nadiya’s dance picked up just 21 points, putting them joint second from bottom on the leaderboard on the night.

However, the public saved them from the dreaded dance off, meaning they’ll live to see week four.

Nadiya then went on to say that she had cried during her dance with Matt on Saturday, admitting that she had lost herself in it.

“I lost myself in that dance dancing with him, I had tears in my eyes by the end of the dance, it was very emotional,” she said.

“I just love the song and we had such a great week last week with that dance, it just felt like everything came together,” she continued.

“It was emotional, but at the same time it was hope in the end, and we executed it beautifully. I just really enjoyed it.”

Matt then spoke about how the public keeping them on the show has boosted their spirits.

“It’s an amazing feeling,” he said.
