In March 2022, Rhys said he learned that ‘it’s okay for men to cry in public’ after he put on a tearful display when Claudia Winkleman revealed his father’s recorded video message because he couldn’t be at the competition.
He said: ‘It was important to show that being vulnerable is not a weakness for a man. It’s a good thing, it’s healing. And not just being a man but being a black man. I think it’s great that young black boys saw that.
‘There’s a feeling that if you’re a black man, the world can be tougher on you, so you need to be tougher, too. And I think it was important for me to be up there as myself, and be open about that.’
Rhys was the eleventh star to be eliminated from the BBC dancing show in 2021.

John and his partner Johannes performed their Jive to Higher Power by Coldplay in a bid to impress the judges and secure their place in the final.
After both couples had danced, all four judges unanimously chose to save John and Johannes.
