After the 60 seconds were up and Nick had failed to complete the challenge, he turned the cubes around to show them arranged into the word sorry, which he meant as an apology for his banishment of the former England rugby player on the game show hosted by Claudia Winkleman.  The pair of former castmates then walked over to join Davina, who told those watching at home: “Before we go any further, we …
