Strictly Come Dancing is almost upon us and whilst emotions will no doubt be running high, it appears it could all get too much for one celebrity if the judges - we're looking at you Craig Revel Horwood - are a bit cutting with their feedback.
Admitting that fans of the show could see him shed a tear or five, Tim Wonnacott revealed to EntertainmentWise: "I think I might cry. Well I'm not that thick skinned and if you get a really barbed comment, you know, you've worked like stink for maybe - if you're lucky - for six weeks and you've really honed your dancing skills, and then have somebody who is so beastly to you and so cutting. It might just get underneath that thick wodge that you've got on your back and I could burst into tears, in fact I might."
But despite Tim's threat that he might start the water works, the TV star also insisted that he would fight back. Planning to have the last word, Tim said: "Oh if it's unfair, definitely. I'm not going to be the underdog and be criticised by some beast out there."
Whilst Tim will be preparing a come back, Masterchef judge Gregg Wallace confessed that he's not going to react when he told us: "The irony isn't lost on me that I'm a judge on one show and I'm being judged on another. Also we had Craig on Celebrity Masterchef so I'm racking my brains to figure out how tough or nice I was with him. I'm going to take it on the chin. I'm not going to fight back. I'm going to try and accept it with adult composure."

With Tim considering fighting back, two celebrities who will be accepting the criticism that is given to them, will be Frankie Bridge and Simon Webbe. Declaring that he's going to take all the feedback on the chin, Blue band member Simon said: "I'll just take it and turn it into a positive. I've always been like that since I was at school. No one is perfect and if some one is trying to help you, then you take it on the chin and you go with it, I hope it doesn't effect what the home viewers are seeing."
"I think we're kind of used to it, people are always critiquing what you do and we always learn. I think for here, it's different because you are learning something so everything they say, you just need to take it on board and then try the next week to not do it", commented Frankie who is part of the girl band The Saturdays. "It's hard because you're training all week but I think generally I know where my faults are so hopefully they won't say anything that's going to shock me."
