Ashley Taylor Dawson and Ola Jordan
Ashley Taylor Dawson is panicking that staying in 'Strictly Come Dancing' may see his schedule get more hectic than ever.
The 'Hollyoaks' hunk is concerned that juggling his time won't be possible - both having to film 'Hollyoaks' and rehearse for the ballroom show - where stars will have to perform two dances per night in coming weeks.
He said: "I'm worried, I don't know how I'm going to cope.
"It's been mental. We know storylines six months ahead and mine was always going to be pretty strong this year.
"My producer's [Bryan Kirkwood] biggest worry was taking me out of things, especially when my storyline has been going on for a while.
"He was at EastEnders last year when Scott Maslen did it. He said, 'You're going to come to me in two months' time, your eyes will be bleeding, you'll be crying and asking for time off. You won't get it.'
"I was like, 'OK, then.' "
However, the 31-year-old actor - who is partnered by professional dancer Ola Jordan - insists he is going to try to remain in the competition for as long as possible because he will be "absolutely gutted" when it finishes.
He added to SoapSquawk: "I know as soon as it over I'll be absolutely gutted, so I just have to enjoy it while it's here.
