Talking to host Bruce Forsyth, he said: "Did I enjoy myself on the show? You bet your life I did. The roar of the crowd, the smell of the greasepaint... I'm choked that I'm not up there with Flavia tonight. I feel great but the doc says I have to stop. He said, 'You've got high blood pressure'; I said, 'Well, so would you, dancing with a girl like this!'

"I'd like to thank the people who voted for me... All the money for my phone votes will go to Children in Need, which is great."

Jimmy also went on to thank the judges and said of Craig Revel Horwood: "Craig is living proof that Snow White and Dopey had sex."
