00:00Lovely. Two faces I'm really excited about watching, actually.

00:03So, well done, guys.

00:04Chris, I'm going to come to you first. I'm going to start with you.

00:07What made you sign up?

00:09Because you've never seen the show, have you?

00:11No. No, I must be the only person that's ever going to be doing the show

00:14without ever seeing a minute of it, for obvious reasons.

00:18What's the point in listening to people dance?

00:20LAUGHTER

00:21So, it's a massive unknown, to be honest.

00:24I like a challenge, though. I like putting myself out of my comfort zone.

00:27And it might be the best three weeks of my life.

00:30It's your point, Chris, that people who might know you are blind, right?

00:33So, if you're going to a dancing show...

00:35I'm not just being arrogant, like, whoo!

00:37LAUGHTER

00:38It's like, I've just been so busy, I haven't got time to watch this stuff.

00:42If one of you watches that rubbish...

00:43And, JB, I mean, a few of your bandmates,

00:46Aston's been in Strictly, hasn't he?

00:48This is not your first rodeo of Strictly,

00:50because you did do the Christmas special a very long time ago, didn't you?

00:54I did. I did the Christmas special.

00:56It was great fun, to be fair, and I did the jive.

00:59And I feel like it was probably the most similar dance

01:03to things that I would have done in JLS.

01:05But I do feel like a lot of the routines, a lot of the styles,

01:08especially the ballroom styles, are, again, very alien to me.

01:12You know, I'm not a trained dancer.

01:14I didn't go to stage school growing up,

01:15so it's going to be a learning curve as well for me.
