Who is George Clarke? Meet Strictly Come Dancing 2025 contestant and YouTuber
After a poor week, George needs to be working harder than ever.
George Clarke had another sub par performance for the second consecutive week in the row and scored only 29 points, not exactly where he wants to be at this point in competition.
Following his performance, the social media sensation wrote on X: "Just a quick thank you to everyone supporting! So grateful to get through to another week and willing to take all criticisms (not just the judges) on board to hopefully show I’m not done improving and show you just how much I’m not only working but also enjoying my time.
"I am not taking any of this for granted at all and I feel very lucky! Love you all x."
George and his professional partner Alexis Warr will be back for another week where they'll perform a Viennese Waltz.
