“It was just a case of, ‘Here’s a glass of champagne, can you take off all your clothes now?’ It would be a lie to say I wasn’t expecting it because we all know what the show is and we all know what’s going on,” he continued.

He later said the show was so “well choreographed” that the audience “didn’t see anything”.
