If you're thinking Dermot is looking a little mashed, that's because he's been dancing for 14 hours straight. And he has another 10 hours to go.
And so it begins #DancingDermot has started dancing. 24 hours to go... pic.twitter.com/C9EW2I4JiX

Since starting his Dance-a-thon in aid for Comic Relief (which is on tonight, folks, in case you've managed to avoid BBC2 for the last 3 weeks), Dermot has got on down with some Pearly King and Queens, with a few Flamenco dancers, a hoola hooping Jo Whiley, the entire band of Blue, the 5 Star, line dancers, and some Cossack Dancers, which seemed to concern O'Leary slightly/...
In a particularly cruel move, producers broke out Vanessa Feltz at 4am....Â

His highlight so far was clearly receiving a message from Thierry Henry...

As for what Dermot is doing right now? After dancing over a marathon in the last 14 hours, in the region of 80,000 steps according to his fitbit, he is now throwing a few shapes with Rastamouse. It's ok, Dermot, we can see the giant rodents too...Â
