Melvin Odoom, who is known for his work on the Kiss 100 radio breakfast show and BBC Radio 1, spoke exclusively to Express. co.

uk about his experience on Strictly Come Dancing. The 42-year-old presenter, who competed alongside dance partner Janette Manrara in the 2016 series, finished dead last after receiving the fewest votes from viewers.

Despite being "disheartened" by his early exit, Melvin returned to the BBC show later that same year to take part in the Christmas special, where he and Janette ended up in first place.

Melvin, who has teamed up with car company Motorpoint to celebrate its 25th anniversary, has since described his whirlwind experience in the dance competition.

New Europe Film Sales to Sell ‘Stepne,’ from Cannes Palme d’Or Winner Maryna Vroda (EXCLUSIVE)

John Hopewell Chief International Correspondent New Europe Film Sales is set to launch international sales on “Stepne,”the debut feature of Ukraine’s Maryna Vroda, a best short Cannes Palme d’Or winner, which was announced this July 5 morning as part of Locarno’s main International Competition. Born in Kyiv, Vroda won a Palme d’Or in 2011 for her short “Cross Country” (“Kross”), a seemingly allegorical psychological drama about a boy who is forced to run, then does so willingly, ending up watching his classmates running a senseless cross-country race as a boy rolls in a transparent ball in a river. “Kross” was inspired by Vroda’s memories of physical education lessons. “Stepne” is equally personal, coming to Vroda when her grandparents died. In it, a middle-aged man travels to his family home to care for his dying mother. He meets his brother and a woman he loves and thinks back to his life choices such as leaving to live in a big city. Then, just before dying, her mother tells her about a treasure she’s buried in the shed.
