As more and more fans flooded into the stands at Stamford Bridge, the atmosphere started to go up a few notches, with a DJ on the pitch as the two teams warmed up. And, as Whitney Houston classic I Wanna Dance With Somebody blasted out around the ground, Dermot couldn't help himself and started to sing and dance along.

Standing next to him, Alex reacted: "Csn somebody help me please?" as Dermot, by this point in full flow, replied: "You've lost me know!" as his dancing started to become more and more enthusiastic.
