Fat shaming hurt me... It shouldn’t happen to people
strives for love and I’ll look again. It’s not put me off,” he vows.
“Someone gave me this brilliant advice about love, which could be applied to work as well. They said love is a bit like gambling, if you only give a bit to it, you’re only going to get a little bit back. But if you invest in it, give everything and gamble big, then you have the chance to win big and achieve everything that you want.”
Dancing remains a key part of his life: “It will always be the passion that drives my life. It’s in my soul, my heart and my body,” he says.
Clearly, he’s relishing working with his brother and admits his dream is that one day the pair have their own TV show – but describing himself as “light-hearted, outgoing and bubbly with a tendency to put others’ needs before my own” – he has his feet firmly on the ground.
“AJ and I are just two young lads who love to work and love to work hard,” he says. “Whatever we do and whatever we put our minds to, we give it our all.

CAN coronavirus live on the bottoms of shoes?
So far, one small study at a hospital in Wuhan, China has found evidence that Covid-19 can be carried on the soles of shoes but it’s highly unlikely the virus is transmitted that way.
The researchers swabbed several surfaces where patients were being cared for and found genetic material from the coronavirus on half of the samples they took from the bottoms of medical workers’ shoes. However, the researchers didn’t test the amount of ‘viable virus’ on the shoes.
This means that it’s unknown whether there was enough of the virus to be infectious and cause disease if someone were to come in contact with it.
For now, we still think the virus is spread mainly from person to person through droplets.
