He also confirmed he was single to The Sun and admitted he had been too busy with Strictly to meet someone.

Joe added that he has no idea if he had attracted any admirers.

He added: "I have no idea, I haven’t been out in the world. Hopefully we’ll find out."

The former Holby City actor also revealed that he was still overwhelmed with his winning the show.

"It feels completely surreal, I can’t get my head around it," he said.

"It feels utterly, utterly amazing. It’s just been brilliant, the whole experience.

"Just being chosen to do the show, I felt like I’d already won just by being chosen because not that many people get chosen to do it. This is just the cherry on the cake."
