The England Footballer only received two points from Craig Revel Horwood for his salsa.

Claudia Winkleman turned to Chris as she asked him about his previous comments he made last week.

He compared his performance to the obligatory reading out of the terms and conditions that are often turned into comical sketches.

But Chris, 47, couldn’t help but take a swipe at the judge after his harsh scoring.

The presenter asked: “Chris, last week you said the Cha-cha was like the terms and conditions. How are you finding this dance, The Foxtot?”

He sarcastically replied: “First of all, by the sounds at the way things are going it sounds like Craig’s blinder than I am!”

Claudia and the entire set of celebrities then burst out into hysterical laughter.

The presenter struggled to continue with the segment as she held her hand against her face as she kept on giggling.

Members of the audience were also left absolutely stunned by his comments as they cackled with laughter.

They also gave the comedian a round of applause for his quick banter.

“Give me a minute!” exclaimed the face of The Traitors before she turned back to Chris.

Chris then turned to his partner as he added: “So you wanna talk about the Fox? What’s it called? The Fox thing?” to more laughter from the studio.

“It’s just different terms and conditions. I got to be rigid up here, I’ve got to be bending my knees down there.” he remarked about his upcoming dance.

Abandoned 65,000sq ft mansion with art gallery & golf course left to rot for 15yrs – but it has eye-watering price tag

AN ABANDONED 65,000sq ft mansion with an art gallery and a golf course has been left to rot for 15 years.

The mega home has just been snapped up for an eye watering price tag – but it will need a fair bit of renovating to make it habitable.

The Peter Grant mansion is Canada’s largest home and is found in Haileybury. situated on the edge of Lake Temiskaming, Ontario.

It features a waterfall beneath the mansion, a subterranean boathouse, an art gallery, and even a private golf course.

But the home was never finished and remains without proper flooring, ceilings, and even walls in some areas.

Construction materials and graffiti remain scattered around the home as people have broken in to explore and tag the house.

Grant was the president of Grant Forest Products and dreamed of creating a stately retreat for his family.

But his planes were shattered by the 2008 financial crisis which brought the construction to a screeching halt.

Grant Forest Products filed for bankruptcy protection in 2009.

The home was listed for sale at a jaw-dropping price of £19million, even though it will need even more spent on it.

A Toronto-based company eventually snapped it up.

They’ll likely need to spend another £1m to finish the job, or they can leave it to decay even further.

One person who viewed the mansion in a video tour posted to YouTube said “it was hard to even comprehend how much is still left behind here”.

Jake Williams said: “Since this building got so far in construction, many of the exterior and interior fittings were near completion.

“Utilities were even in a working state by the time of abandonment.”

Last year reports claimed very little had changed beyond some security upgrades such as camera and fences were installed to stop people looking around.

Temiskaming Shores mayor Jeff Laferriere told the CBC last year: “Folks come into town, and they want to know where it is and [ask if they can] go have a look.”

Inside abandoned £7MILLION 8-bed mansion left to rot by rich owner & set to be torn down

By Zeenia Naqvee

AN ABANDONED mansion worth just shy of £7 million is decked out with a cinema, a pool and boasts multiple bedrooms but due to be demolished.

The sprawling £6.8 million ($8.1m) East Coast home is complete with plenty of amenities but also shows sign of wear and tear.

The 9,000 sqft luxury property is kitted out with six bedrooms, eight bathrooms and an in-ground pool with its own pool house.

The mansion also features an elegant winding staircase and stunning panelled windows but its paint is peeling and floorboards are beginning to wear.

Canadian Urban explorer Dave was stunned at the sheer size of the US property which spans a whopping four acres.

Tucked within its three floors, which include an attic and basement are a cinema and basketball court with its own TV and bar.

Dave, whose full time gig is in marketing, claims the place was abandoned in 2019 but had plans to be demolished in the future.

He noted that while some there were some obvious signs of decay, the property’s beauty has otherwise remained intact.

The Ontario man said in a video: “Come with me as we delve into the remnants of this majestic home exploring its decaying beauty.

“This place is huge, just look at this room.

“These doors are nice, wow, and look at this staircase – this is beautiful. I can’t believe how many rooms there are in this house.”

Sheffield United stars held back as Championship clash with Portsmouth descends into brawl at full-time whistle

PORTSMOUTH’S clash with Sheffield United descended into a bad-tempered melee after the final whistle.

In the final act of the contest, the Blades thought they had earned a free-kick for a foul.

Referee Matt Donohue instead opted to blow the final whistle, much to the visitors’ frustration.

Sheffield United captain Vini Souza was particularly incensed, earning a yellow card for his protestations.

Tempers then flared between members of both teams, with pushing and shoving matches breaking out.

This enraged members of the home support, with X-rated chants coming from the stands and a ball thrown towards the players.

At one point home goalkeeper Will Norris was floored, before the melee was finally split up.

After the game, Pompey boss Mousinho attempted to play the incident down, claiming: “It was nothing.”

Wilder, meanwhile, was full of praise for the home side.

He said: “It wasn’t our day and maybe we didn’t deserve it, that’s how the game goes.

Portsmouth were good and you have to give them credit.

“If they play like that for all their home games and their away games, they will get results and they will win games.

“They will make it as difficult for other teams as they made it for us.

“Teams will get beaten here if Pompey play like that all season.”

The Blades boss, 57, then heaped praise upon goalkeeper Michael Cooper, who arrived from Plymouth Argyle last month.

‘TONGUE IN CHEEK’

After Cooper completed a full month of clean sheets, Wilder said: “I found out today that my goalkeeper can make some saves, as he hadn’t had to make a save yet!

“I’m being tongue in cheek, we knew he could make saves, but now he has proved it to everybody, including our coaching staff and supporters.

“He’s played a part today. We brought him in to make saves and when he is, he is playing his part.

“Everyone has to defend, it isn’t just the keeper and back four that have to stick their bodies on the line. We defend from the front.

“We want to win games and take risks, we feel we are an attacking team, so to get those four sheets gives us a great base to move on.”

STRICTLY Come Dancing fans are convinced that Gorka Marquez dressed in tight PVC trousers in a bid to distract viewers.

Those watching at home noted how the pair were performing in the so-called ‘death slot’ and questioned if his outfit was in order to make their dance more memorable.

The Strictly death slot is the performance most likely to be forgotten as it comes straight after the first one of the night.

Taking to X to discuss the theory, one person wrote: “Death slot rubbish song ….at least wardrobe are supporting Gorka.

A second commented: “Do you think Gorka knew they were in the death slot when he asked for those trousers??”

While another added: “Can see Gorka in PVC trousers picking up a few extra votes – and whoever he is dancing with.”

And someone else said: “OH MY GOD GORKA – wardrobe coming through again with the see through top.”

Meanwhile Gorka’s celebrityMorning Live‘s Dr Punam Krishan  – brought the “sass” to their foxtrot to Shania Twain‘s hit Man! I Feel Like A Woman!

The NHS GP dressed in a black dress with a white suit panel reminiscent of Shania’s outfit in the music video for the performance which saw her strut and perform high kicks.

Before picking up a score of 18, Craig Revel Horwood said he “loved the sass” of the dance and felt she “nailed the characterisation”, but felt she needed to work on her posture.

Head judge Shirley Ballas agreed as she said the top half of Dr Krishan was “one of the strongest dynamic personalities in the competition” but that her lower half let her down.
