A 'Knight' in shining armour...
Sir Bruce took to the dancefloor yesterday after Artem Chigvintsev missed rehearsals due to a back injury. Gallant Sir Bruce stepped into Artem's shoes to help Holly Valance with her routine while her professional partner was being checked over by doctors. Enjoy our exclusive footage of Bruce and Holly taking to the floor below...

Totally agree with Mrs A - he's so much better when unscripted, remember Mark & Karen back in 2006?
Get well soon to Artem.

It was not his fault she was voted off the competition and it was not his fault he was partnered with her. Top marks Brenden for the way you dealt with her dreadful behaviour.
