Well, what an adventure it has been. I’m not sure I have the words quite yet to describe just how incredible Strictly is but I am so proud to have made it to Blackpool week.
Thank you all so much for your kind messages, comments and support over the past couple of months. pic.twitter.com/KnIaEY18x1
