He then asked: ‘It’s not me, it’s…’ Maddie said: ‘You.’
Shane then took inspiration from Bruno Mars as he sung: ‘It’s a beautiful night, looking for something dumb to do. Hey baby, I think I want to…’

Shane is very close to his family and was fiercely supportive of his father while appearing in the most recent series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
Shane even branded AJ Pritchard a ‘little b***h’ in a furious Instagram video after his father rowed with the dancer over cleaning.
Shane also said the Strictly dancer should ‘shut up’ after he argued with his father in the camp over dirty pans.
Defending his father, Shane said: ‘He’s not going to be everybody’s cup of tea and when you see people slate your dad, he can’t clean, my step-mum will vouch for that, other people will vouch for that.
No way: Shane branded AJ Pritchard a ‘little b***h’ in a furious Instagram video after his father rowed with the dancer over cleaning on I’m A Celebrity
‘AJ was a little b***h when he was talking about him. Look how clean I’ve got them. F*** off mate, got a dishwasher mate, back off.
‘But yeah, he probably could have done better than that. Even I would have done better than that. But tomorrow night he’s going to be very very good.’
Shane wasn’t done there – he later told AJ to ‘shut up you little girl’ before saying: ‘Oh he didn’t do the washing up properly, so f*****g what? Jesus get a life.
AJ and Shane had a tiff on Monday’s show after the camp chores were assigned on Sunday night.

And AJ continued to rant over Shane’s ‘dirty’ pans on Tuesday as he complained they weren’t clean enough.
The former Strictly pro, 26, is in charge of maintenance while the EastEnders actor was assigned washing as a chore alongside Ruthie Henshall.
Yet on Tuesday’s episode, camp leader Jordan North asked AJ to do the washing up as Shane was doing a trial and Ruthie was feeling homesick.
After scrubbing the pots and pans, the dancer commented on how much cleaner they were looking thanks to his own handiwork.
Chores: Defending his father, Shane said: ‘He’s not going to be everybody’s cup of tea and when you see people slate your dad, he can’t clean, my step-mum will vouch for that, other people will vouch for that (above Shane Richie with Beverley Callard)
He said: ‘AJ was a little b***h when he was talking about him. Look how clean I’ve got them. F*** off mate, got a dishwasher mate, back off’
To which Beverley Callard asked: ‘So Shane’s done a very bad job?’ with the other campmates looking around.
Commenting on Shane’s ‘dirty’ pans in the Telegraph later on in the episode, AJ said: ‘Oh my God, no wonder our rice has some weird flavour to it.
‘I’ve cleaned the whole thing (pots and pans), they look brand new. You could sell them right now.’
He added: ‘I think they could put a bit more blood sweat and tears into washing up, it’s a bit dirty.’
While he also said to his fellow campmates out of ear shot of Shane: ‘If you’re going to do it, do the job properly.’
