The message stated: “This week’s strictly was full of emotions. I loved dancing our foxtrot. @aljazskorjanec worked so hard with me to nail a technically solid ballroom dance, no props, no sets. Pure dance.
“I adored it! It didn’t get the response I was hoping sadly, which broke my heart for Aljaz, and it’s never easy being in the dance-off.
“I’m heartbroken to see Harry go – he’s been such a light in this competition- a beautiful guy who’s real biggest muscle was his heart!
