The professional ballroom dancer broke down in tears as he recalled being stabbed by his late Hungarian father, Antal, who disapproved of his passion for dance. In a clip for tonight's show, Anton says: "I've never spoken about this before in my entire life. I wanted a new start and a new beginning. I ended up in hospital for three days - I got stabbed." The Strictly Come Dancing star began to cry as he added: "I've never said this out loud before," before going on to clarify: "I got stabbed in the leg and in the stomach because of a fight on Boxing Day. It was idiotic. An idiotic situation. I remember walking out of the house to walk up to the hospital, holding my leg, and a police car drove past and I waved him down. And I said, 'He's in there with a knife' - anyway they carted him off and I ended up in hospital for three or four days." Anton told Kate his father was only violent towards him and never towards his mother Conchita or sister Veronica. The ballroom dancer revealed he felt "embarrassed" by the incident and added: "'I'm sure my friends and family don't even know. It's the first time I've mentioned it out loud. What's to be gained from talking about it all? I can't really believe I'm talking to you about this, I should have glossed over it and said, 'It was all marvellous dear.'" Speaking about the interview on Good Morning Britain, Kate told viewers Anton "didn't want to be defined" by his father's violence. "Talks about a lot of decisions including his name, I don't want to give anything away, that came from not wanting to be defined by it," the presenter explained. "He went back to school and never told anyone just said he ha){kind=link}
