Balvinder Sopal and partner Julian Caillon have reacted to breaking an unwanted Strictly Come Dancing record, after they found themselves in another dance-off on Sunday (30 November).

The pair have now won five dance offs, beating the record previously held by singer Jamelia, who was eventually eliminated in her fifth dance-off back in 2015.

Speaking on BBC's Strictly Comes Dancing: It Takes Two on Tuesday (2 December), Caillon said, "You learn more from the tough times and the challenges than you do from the good times", before praising his partner's resilience.
