Greg Wise has admitted he "messed up" on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.

The 'Sense and Sensibility' actor - who had been competing in the Saturday night favourite with professional partner Karen Hauer - has admitted he worried about doing the Samba last weekend, and his fears were realised.
He said: "For some reason, I got the fear. I got the fear and messed up hugely at the start of the dance.
"Then, I messed up hugely at the start of the dance the second time around."
Greg's errors cost him his place in the competition, after losing the dance-off to comedienne Judi Love, 40 and her pro partner Graziano Di Prima, 27.
Judges Craig Revel Horwood, 56, Anton Du Beke, and Motsi Mabuse, 40, all opted to save the 'Loose Women' star from elimination.
Head judge Shirley Ballas, 61, would have saved Greg and Karen had she had her vote.
Still, Greg did not seem too downhearted about his early departure from the show, which took place in the fourth week of the series.
He said: "The lovely thing about it was that we were going out to entertain. We were having this joyful explosion and could there be a better way of being kicked off the show than after doing that dance?
"My 'Strictly' experience has been the most beautiful exploration of a world I never knew."
His feelings were echoed by professional dancing partner Karen, 39, who admired her co-star's tenacity throughout.
Speaking on 'Strictly' spin-off show 'It Takes Two', she said: "It was fun. It was exciting. [Greg] did have good hip action, there were hiccups but at the end of the day, it's how you pickup the dance. He didn't stop and say 'Oh, I messed up'.
"The whole thing about the journey and 'Strictly' is how you go on and continue and that's what you did."
'Strictly - It Takes Two' continues every weeknight at 6:30pm on BBC Two, and 'Strictly Come Dancing' airs on Saturday and Sunday nights on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
