But Aleck is likely to quickly forgive Emma, with the hero admitting he kept 'getting distracted' by his new dance partner while they performed a sexy rumba on Monday.

‘I tried to play it cool, but that lasted about ten minutes, I just couldn’t do it,’ he giggled. 

‘She's just too hot. I couldn't keep my cool under those circumstances.' 

Aleck was scheduled to see a doctor on Tuesday to confirm the broken nose diagnosis.
