The Westlife star has insisted that Strictly's Mr Nasty is not really all that bad backstage.
Asked why he thought Craig was giving him a particularly hard time on the scoring front, Nicky jumped to his defense, saying: 'Obviously I'm finding it hard to win Craig over at the minute with my dancing skills but he's a really really good guy.
'Backstage in the corridor he's very friendly and nice but as soon as he puts the shiny shoes and the dicky bow on Craig he's a completely different guy.'
The 34-year-old narrowly escaped elimination last week and is determined to woo over the judging panel with his Charleston on tonight's show.

'I'm feeling confident, it's a real fun dance. A great charismatic dance, a lot of acting and, like the Jive, a lot of steps. But I know it. I know I know it.'
'This week was all about going back to basics and really working hard. Nobody wants to go home and I don't want an early bath just yet. I'm in this for the long haul if possible.'
Reflecting on his most recent score, he added: 'I got three eights out of four judges last week but when you walk away you always remember the negatives.
'You have to take the positives out of the negatives and for me, it was still a pretty good score.

'But I still have a lot of work to do and if I want to be up there with the big guns I've got to keep trying and keep practicing which is what I'm doing.'
And Nicky even let slip that his routine tonight will feature several 'big dangerous lifts'.
He added: 'Three of them are in there and they're all very fast. Anything could go wrong and there could be a serious injury for Karen.
'We've gone all out this week so hopefully we'll impress everybody.'
