He said: “Before I started dancing, I had orthopaedic boots and splints up my back and my legs because I used to walk on my tiptoes a lot.

“But when I started dancing, my tendons just got looser and looser until I never had to wear them any more.

James takes to the stage and when asked by judge Michael McIntyre if he’s at school, he replies: “My mum’s homeschooling me because I’m autistic.”

James tells the judges he’s been dancing for about three-and-a-half years and Michael asks him if he loves dancing.
