The 55-year-old former soccer star has performed alongside Katya Jones on the BBC show, and Tony admits he’s been blown away by the support of fans.
Discussing his emotional reaction to the support, Tony – who battled alcoholism during his playing career – told Metro.co.uk: “I never could feel it. I couldn’t feel any feelings – I suppressed them with alcohol and stuff.
“But as I’ve come to and in this world, it took me a long time to receive love and to be … There’s 200 great comments and you get one person saying ‘you’re an idiot’, I’m like, ‘I’m rubbish!’ But I just started to go actually, I felt a little bit overwhelmed with the outpouring of ‘good for you’.
“I’m getting a little bit teary now.”
Tony previously revealed that he was looking forward to learning a “new skill” on ‘Strictly’.
Asked why he decided to sign up for ‘Strictly’, Tony replied: “I’m now free of addiction and I can do anything I want. So I have decided to learn a new skill, dancing! It looks like a fun show so I am looking forward to it.”
Tony admitted that ‘Strictly’ was a completely new experience for him.
Despite this, the former England captain was looking forward to taking himself out of his own comfort zone.
He said: “I played football for over three decades and I broke my nose five times in the first year of my career, it’s a very physical game.
“Then in 1998, I played with a player that did his hair before we went out The game had completely changed. That player was David Beckham. I said, ‘You’re going to be running around!’ and he said, ‘Still got to look good mate.’ So look, if that’s what it takes, I am quite happy, I don’t really care what other people think about me, so I am up for a bit of a laugh!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Maisie Smith has struggled with her confidence since leaving ‘EastEnders’.
The 21-year-old actress is best-known for playing Tiffany Butcher in the BBC soap, and she admits that her post-‘EastEnders’ life hasn’t been straightforward.
She shared: “I was on ‘EastEnders’ for 13 years, which was all I can remember. I sometimes think I’m more comfortable being Tiffany than I am being Maisie.
“The good thing about being an actress is that I know how to look confident. In reality, I have no idea what I’m doing.”
Despite this, Maisie insists there’s “a lot more” to her than people imagine.
She said on ‘Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins’: “I have no idea how people see me because I just assume you just take one look at me and think, ‘Oh cocky little Essex girl’, which is true, but there’s a lot more to me that people don’t know.”
Maisie also revealed that her confidence issues have even caused her to struggle with her speaking.
The actress explained: “I’ve struggled sort of speaking. And I’ve had, not a stutter, but I just could go blank and words wouldn’t come out and I think the more that happened, the more people would just sort of talk over me.”
Meanwhile, Maisie previously claimed that she’s learned to accept her perceived flaws.
The former soap star took to Instagram to discuss her body insecurities.
Alongside a series of photos of herself, Maisie wrote: “The past few years I’ve been VERY insecure about my legs. I covered them up as much possible. No matter how many people told me “cellulite is natural.. everyone has it..” I still hated them.
“It’s taken me a while but I’m starting to accept these aspects of myself that I’ve always seen as “flaws”. I wore gym shorts (out of the house) for the FIRST time a couple of months ago n I was so so proud of myself. wish I could I say that I LOVE my body but I’m still working on that (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Gorka Marquez wants Helen Skelton to “believe in herself”.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ professional is worried his partner – who split from husband Richie Myler earlier this year – isn’t able to “enjoy” the show as much as she could because her confidence is low at the moment.
Appearing on ‘Strictly: It Takes Two’, he said: “Obviously at the minute her confidence is not at her highest so I just want to work on building her confidence, and tell her she’s a beautiful dancer, she does well, I believe in her, I just need her to believe in herself because this goes very quick and the quicker she does that, the more she’s going to be able to enjoy it.”
Gorka then turned to his partner and said: “Just believe in yourself! Because you work very hard and you do incredibly.”
The former ‘Blue Peter’ presenter praised the dancer for his kindness.

Host Janette Manrara praised Helen for all the feats she has accomplished in her career so far.
She said: “You are not afraid of difficult things and I have a list of ridiculously difficult challenges from your career and I have a list of them here. You’ve run an ultra marathon – that’s three marathons back to back in 24 hours – you’ve done a tightrope walk and you’ve kayaked solo down the Amazon. I mean, this must be a walk in the park for you.”
Gorka insisted Helen has “a lot of potential”.
He said: “I saw the potential from day one, when I met her and we had a little dance I thought she has a lot of potential, and I believe in her I thought she can go so far. When she step on the floor, she was just a beautiful dancer.”
The ‘Countryfile’ star admitted being on the show has been like a “rollercoaster”.
She explained: “I kept saying it’s a bit like a rollercoaster. You’re a bit nervous before you get on. But once you get on the rollercoaster you don’t wanna get off it. As soon as we stepped off the floor I said ‘can we do it again?’ ”
The pair will tackle one of the Latin dances this week and Helen admitted rehearsals have been “intense”.
She said: “I was asked to do a fast Latin dance and I said if we get through this week will we get to do a ballroom.
“I love it but it’s quite intense isn’t it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — AJ Pritchard has reportedly split from his girlfriend Abbie Quinnen.
The former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ star has dated fellow dancer Abbie for four years after they met while working on one of his tours – but The Sun now reports the pair have called it quits with Abbie reportedly left “devastated” over the end of their relationship.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “He called time on their relationship last week. She’s devastated.”
It comes just weeks after Abbie seemingly dropped a clue about the state of their romance in an interview with MailOnline in which she revealed she had not seen her boyfriend “in a while”.
Earlier in September, she told the publication: “‘I haven’t seen him for a while though, I should be seeing him tonight. He’s been away filming something exciting, it’s top secret so I can’t tell you.”
She had been praising AJ for the way he looked after her following a freak accident at home which left her with third degree burns.
Back in January, 2021, Abbie was admitted to hospital in need of skin graft surgery after filming a YouTube stunt with a wine bottle and a flaming rope went horribly wrong.
The ex ‘Strictly’ star was by her side throughout the ordeal, and Abbie had nothing but kind words for her partner for helping her through.
She told MailOnline: “‘I can’t thank those at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital enough. AJ has been to every single appointment with me, he’s always there holding my hand … he’s the best honestly.”
Abbie previously told The Sun AJ was wracked with guilt over the accident, but insisted it had actually brought them closer together.
She said: “It definitely did affect our relationship but I think mostly for the better as it showed me just how much he cared and loved me.
“He’s been by my side every step of the way and even now he comes to every single laser, micro-needling or PRP appointment with me, which I am so grateful for! He’s always there holding my hand.”

Following his elimination, Gareth – who was revealed to have been under the Cactus mask – said: “I have had so much fun. The last time I danced I was seven and I danced with a broom in the school play.”
Despite his musical background, Gareth confessed to being out of his “comfort zone” on the show. He said: “I’m never doing it again. I was sick with nerves. I’m so out of my comfort zone. I don’t know how to dance, I don’t have that thing.”
‘The Masked Dancer’ returns to ITV on Saturday (01.10.22) at 6.30pm.
