Earlier this week, Mark was quoted as saying: 'I've not been waltzing around the bedroom because I am tired all the time. And in pain.'
However, he took to Twitter on Wednesday evening to explain his quote meant he wasn't dancing at home.
He tweeted: 'So I was asked if I'm dancing at home, I reply I'm too tired to be waltzing around the bedroom and they twist it to something crude #typical.'

He wrote: 'Strictly final Saturday and @facesessex Sunday night to celebrate then back with my @michkeegan for XMAS #excited.'
Mark and his partner Karen Hauer are the outsiders when it comes to winning the Strictly final, having survived several dance-offs already.
On Saturday, the pair will perform their showdance to Queen's Don't Stop Me Now, as well as repeat their Samba to That’s The Way I Like It from Week 5.
