The Greatest Dancer has won a host of fans since hitting screens last month. 

And while Glee star Matthew Morrison and Strictly stunner Otlile Mabuse admit they are happy with the reaction, the actor confessed he has been shocked at some of the backlash their co-star Cheryl has received since the start of the programme. 

Speaking about the 35-year-old former Girls Aloud singer, who shares son Bear, 22 months with ex Liam Payne, he branded her 'supermum' before discussing the intricacies of the show in an exclusive chat with MailOnline.

The show's judging panel comprises of Girls Aloud star Cheryl, 35, Glee actor Matthew, 40, and Strictly pro Oti, 28, and since hitting screens during the audition stages fans have been left loving the moves.
