When George Clarke revealed that he was in a relationship with model girlfriend Yasmin Bennett, he shut down any speculation of a potential romance with his professional dance partner, Alexis Warr. But it looks as though he has a different struggle to overcome if his latest comment is anything to go by.
In a recent interview the TikTok sensation explained that his girlfriend is such a fans of his tanned appearance, he now feels under pressure to maintain his new look after Strictly Come Dancing.
Speaking about Yasmin’s support of his time on the show, he told The Sun: “She’s fully behind it. She has not yet got the ’ick! Well, I hope she hasn’t!” He added: “I’m loving the spray tans, I live for two or three days a week looking unbelievably tanned and people are complimenting me, saying I look so healthy.”

He went on to say his girlfriend even prefers him with a tan, meaning the pressure is on to keep it up away from the dancefloor. Yasmin has been incredibly supportive of his Strictly journey and admitted that she believed in his ability more than he did ahead of the show.
Since appearing on the BBC show, the demographic of his fanbase has completely taken a new turn. He has now attracted what is known as Facebook Mums, who are women who are in their 40’s and use the social media platform.
Soon after George signed on the dotted line when given his Strictly contract, the one person he could not wait to inform was his nan. Speaking to BBC Bristol, he said: “My nan is over the moon. When I called her [to say he was doing the show], she was like ‘Oh that’s really cool’.”

Despite going from strength to strength on the show, he revealed that he recently suffered an injury during rehearsals. Explaining the incident while on The Useless Hotline Podcast, he revealed: “I had a pinched nerve all week in my back. I had acupuncture.”
But he did not allow his injury to deter him from doing his best on the Strictly dancefloor. Although the gruelling training schedule is a lot for George to handle, there doesn’t appear to have been any doubt over his decision to join this year’s line-up.
In an interview with BBC Bristol he told listeners: “I’ve always said there’s two or maybe three TV shows that I feel like I couldn’t say no to, and Strictly was definitely one of them.”
George also claimed that he now realises how difficult learning the routines are but is doing his best to “embrace it.” However, he struggles to find the strength week on until he finally locks in a routine.
