Ricky Whittle Wishes He Was A Loser

Ricky Whittle fears that the public isn't behind him, because they love an underdog.

Ricky told the Daily Express: "If someone does well they don't like them. If this was America or Australia they'd be cheering us on because we are doing well. If I'd come out the first week and tripped up, then carried on the routine, the whole nation would be going 'ah, bless him'. It's great that everyone is so sympathetic but I think they need to just appreciate that everyone is doing the same job and trying their hardest. And if we are doing well, embrace us, get behind us. I've not been trained in dancing, I'm not in my comfort zone."

If Ricky had been in a dance-off, I could understand his sentiments, but Ricky has escaped that, which implies people are voting for him. Why he feels this bitter, I'm not sure.
