The Sun revealed he launched into a furious row as he ranted: "I wish I'd never done this show."

But speaking on BBC's spin-off show It Takes Two, James explained how his horrific brain injury stopped him from learning partner Luba Mushtuk's dance steps.

The 47-year-old rower previously confessed that he was devastated to have let the professional dancer down following their elimination at the weekend.

He said: "One of the reasons why I did it is actually people's perceptions of what you can do after a pretty serious accident are limited.

"And if you listen to people putting limits on you for whatever it’s for you're going to hit that ceiling.

"For me it's a very structured way of learning. I needed to know the steps before progressing.

"Then Luba says said you have to dance to music with me. You can’t go and learn the steps on your own.

"The difference in the way I learned from the first to second dance was realising it's more than just the ABC of doing it.

"You have to do it with someone get some emotion across and just do it."
