Brian Conley Shares Hilarious Strictly Blunder on This Morning

Brian Conley, the talented actor who graced the Strictly Come Dancing stage alongside the remarkable Amy Dowden in 2017, recently revealed an amusing yet impactful mishap that he credits to his brother, Alan Conley, a renowned floor manager for several acclaimed television shows, including Strictly Come Dancing. Conley humorously narrated how Alan’s unexpected interference threw a wrench in his chances during his time on the popular dance competition.

The candid recounting of his misadventure left the This Morning hosts, Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, in stitches as Conley recounted the incident during his guest appearance on the show. Brian, who participated in the fifteenth series of Strictly, ultimately exited the competition in Week 5 after their lively Jive routine set to the iconic Tom Jones hit, ‘It’s Not Unusual’.

During the interview, Brian Conley shared insights into the pivotal moment that set the tone for his Strictly journey. He revealed how Alan, in the chaos of the first episode, failed to cue the customary introduction music, leaving him and Amy waiting in bewilderment for their cue. As he recreated the comical scene, imitating the abrupt start, Conley playfully blamed his brother for ‘ruining’ what could have been a winning start to his Strictly stint.

Delving further into the behind-the-scenes dynamics, Brian disclosed a rare glimpse of the Conley brothers’ banter. Expressing concerns about potential clashes between the Strictly finals and his scheduled pantomime performances during the festive season, Brian sought reassurance from Alan. However, his brother’s candid response that winning the competition was unlikely and that an early exit was more probable left Brian in amused disbelief.
