And while the majority of the comments he received afterwards were supportive - he admitted being upset by trolls who branded him "cocky" and "arrogant" online.
"I just leave them to it, because I know that I'm not those things, and I'm lucky that I've got incredible people around me. If the comments do upset me, they upset me because I have two children, and it's not just about me. "So when people comment, that's fine. This experience is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and it goes so quickly that you have to enjoy it. I don't want to get sidetracked by negativity - I just want to have the best time and give this show, and Nancy, my all."
Shayne went on: "I am always practising, always dancing at home. Sophie will see me go off for a minute and know I'm going through the moves in my head. And she will say to me: 'Ok chill for a minute.' And then I can hear Nancy in my head saying: 'Chill, you've got this, relax."
