THE Real Dirty Dancing’s Lee Ryan was accused of ‘crying like a puppy’ after being forced into a bungee jump on the show.
Lee, 38, made strange panting and whimpering noises as he leapt from a crane while hugging his dance partner Saffron Barker, 21.
Once safely on the ground, the Blue singer was told by Saffron that he had sounded like he had been crying during the daring challenge.
All Rise singer Lee shot back: “I wasn’t crying!”
But she continued to the camera: “When we started falling, all I could hear in my ear was ‘Uh, uh!’ It was almost like crying, but like a puppy.”
The Real Dirty Dancing’s hosts Keith Lemon and Ashley Roberts surprised this year’s contestants with a bungee jump during Monday night’s semi-final episode.
Lee was seriously unimpressed, however.
Pacing around the field, the boyband star raged: “I ain’t doing a f***ing bungee jump. I ain’t. Nah. I promise you, I ain’t f***ing doing it.”
Lee said he “doesn’t like heights”, adding: “All this stuff about building trust, blah blah blah, nah. I’m not buying it.”
However, after watching each of his co-stars go through with the jump, Lee had a dramatic change of heart.
But while being winched to the top of the crane, he warned Saffron: “I’m genuinely s****ing myself. I can’t look. I genuinely don’t like heights.
“I’ve got my eyes f***ing closed. I can’t look because I don’t like it. My stomach’s literally going to come out of my mouth.”
Meanwhile, later in the episode, this year’s contestants went head-to-head in a bid to grab a place in the final.
Lee and Saffron seriously impressed the judges with their routine and were put through to the last stage of the competition.
Self-confessed “underdogs” James ‘Arg’ Argent and Anthea Turner also won a place in the final after performing a VERY racy routine.
