Jordan Dargan made himself known in Dancing with the Stars on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Week three was Movie Night and saw the celebrities embody some of their favourite films. The Apprentice UK star went for Avatar, the film that inspired him to get into business. He performed a Contemporary Ballroom to the theme from Avatar and was awarded an impressive 34 from the judges.<\/p>\n

The Dub confessed that he can be hard on himself as, unsurprisingly, he\u2019s very competitive.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was probably comparing myself [to the other contestants] a lot at the start,\u201d he tells VIP Magazine.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was thinking, \u2018These lads are finished their dance on Wednesday, and I\u2019m only halfway through mine\u2019 and I was getting bogged down by that.\u201d<\/p>\n

He confesses: \u201cI\u2019m never going to be fully satisfied until we go out there and do our performance. But that is the businessman in me, I\u2019m just a competitive guy.\u201d<\/p>\n

He laughs as he says:\u00a0\u201cAnyone on the show who says they wouldn\u2019t like to go all the way is lying. We all want to go all the way that\u2019s putting it bluntly, but you can only take it one week at a time, if you want win.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s safe to say that this is a brand new side to his life as he swaps his nine-to-five for the dancefloor. He jokes that his hips and legs are aching!<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m used to sitting at a desk doing 3D animation; now I\u2019m jumping around pretending I\u2019m an Avatar. It\u2019s been very different, but very fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

While he received three nines and a seven on Sunday night, he still received some harsh comments from everyone\u2019s favourite bad guy, Brian Redmond. Of course, he is used to harsh critique from his time on The Apprentice where Alan Sugar isn\u2019t afraid to get those digs in.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very close [between Brian and Alan Sugar] in that Brian is not always going to give you the roses, and what you want to hear. But it\u2019s always feedback you can use going into the next week, to get better and move on,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen someone gives you criticism you have to take it. The only thing is me and Brian are Manchester United fans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dancing with the Stars continues on Sundays at 6:30pm on RT\u00c9 One and RT\u00c9 Player<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
