Gogglebox continued tonight (October 4) with more pithy reviews on the best and worst of recent British TV, but as well as all the usual side-splitting quips and bizarre trains of thought, there was something that left viewers shocked.

While discussing Channel 4's bloody brilliant reality gameshow The Circle, the Goggleboxers reacted to Richard Madeley's attempts at dancing both the robot and 'Gangnam Style' for a task.

In Manchester, the Malone parents tried pulling off their best PSY moves, which led Tom Malone Jr to exclaim that he can't understand how he became a professional dancer when his parents have absolutely no rhythm.

Cue viewers being absolutely stunned at what Tom's real-life job is (you should've known this from our previous article, but we don't blame you, seeing as it was three years ago we wrote it).

A few years back, Tom Jr wrote a blog post explaining that he was a dancer and a dance instructor. He is trained in multiple styles including house, locking and breaking (don't call it break dancing), and surprisingly he does tap and ballet as well.

What to Read Next

He's danced for Rita Ora, Fergie and Wiley, and his dance crew Ruff Diamond were runners-up on Sky One's Got to Dance in 2013.

And he doesn't actually live in Manchester (or didn't at the time). He just travels up for the show.

Gogglebox airs Friday nights at 9pm on Channel 4.
