A star of Strictly Come Dancing has revealed that he's a big fan of Morecambe as he taught one of our presenters some dance steps during an appearance in the town.
Karim Zeroual was at Shore Thing bar on Morecambe seafront on Saturday night to DJ at their Halloween party.
Beforehand, he spoke to Matilda Walden from our Beyond Expectations podcast.
"I love Morecambe," he said.
"My partner (Yasmin) is from Morecambe and we've just had a baby. I love it here.
"Even when we first started going out I used to love coming here beacause I'm from London and it's such a big city and it's chaotic.
"Walking on the seafront, I've had fish and chips at the Midland, it's so nice. Coming up here, for me, is like a holiday."
