Anton Du Beke apologised to his 251,000 followers after he had to cancel an online group workout session. The Strictly Come Dancing pro hit out at his “frustrating” broadband service and pleaded with fans to repeat a previously recorded exercise session while he tried to get it fixed.

Anton has been leading Fit at 50 sessions over on his YouTube channel every day at 3pm during the lockdown.

The exercises also show the pre-warm up that Anton uses each time he goes out on stage.

His fans were disappointed that his internet prevented their daily routine as they responded to the news.

One said simply: “Oh dear,” alongside an unhappy face.

Another replied: “Disappointed…bl**dy broadband.”

The professional ballroom dancer recently experienced another video mishap, when his two children crashed one of his online workouts.

During one of his popular shared daily exercise routines, his young son George interrupted, followed by his daughter Henrietta.

Anton caught his breath back on the exercise mat as George wandered into the room.

The star announced: “Oh hello, we’ve got a small person venturing in.

“OK, here we go,” he sighed as Henrietta came in. “This is real life right here, isn’t it? Welcome to the family.”

Since isolation, Anton has had his hands full juggling fitness classes and his children, while also gearing up for the next season of Strictly.

In March he told presenter Steph McGovern that he believes the “pre-production” stage will be going ahead as planned.
