Picking up dance moves “doesn’t come easy” for Allen, which is why he wished the judges had given him more credit, specifically for his Captain Hook routine, for which he performed lifts with a hook attached to his hand. “When the judges said nothing about it, I was like, ‘You worried about my foot.

Did you not see this hook?’ My ankles were sweating”. During his time on the show, Allen’s wife Alexis gave birth to their second daughter and third child.
