I knew this day would come and I tried to prepare myself as best I could for it, but the reality is I don’t think it’s quite sunk in yet. I first dreamt of dancing on Strictly when I was 7 years old, dancing round the living room wearing my little dress and wishing I could be one of the “princesses” that I saw on screen. Little did I know that it would one day become a reality, and I’d have got myself half way through the competition. I’ve never been a dancer, or a performer, I’ve always been self conscious, so I knew that this was going to be a huge challenge physically and mentally, yet it was a challenge I absolutely wanted to take on. However, from the day I met you Graz, you told me every day that I am strong, beautiful and confident. I believe that everything happens for a reason, and I know that we were meant to be friends for life. You have taught me so much about myself and our laughter every single day has brought me so much joy. I never got bored of spending over 12 hours a day with you, and your work ethic has inspired me beyond words. You made me believe in myself in those moments that I absolutely didn’t and the bond we have built is truly an unbreakable one. I want to wish my fellow contestants a truly magical experience for the remainder of the show; they are the best bunch of people I’ve ever met, each one of them so individually unique and wonderful in their own way. I also want to thank all the incredible people that work behind the scenes to make this show happen. You wouldn’t believe how hard these people work, the production team, hair, makeup, wardrobe; it was an honour and a privilege to be a part of something so iconic and magical. I am forever grateful to every single one of you who made my Strictly experience one that I will think about with a HUGE smile on my face every day for the rest of my life. ✨🤍❤️ xx Strictly Studio at Elstree

you have no idea how much your words meant to me @grazianodiprima 🥺❤️🤍✨ “you get out what you put in” has always been my motto as my dad has said it to me since I could talk…. and I believe we did our absolute best. We worked every second possible. I can’t stop crying every time I watch this. I love you! You are a treasure. ✨

Being in the dance off for the second time was definitely not the easiest moment of our Strictly journey so far. I think I let those nerves get the better of me during our performance, and I knew I could have done better. I definitely felt like I let myself down when I walked off the dance floor, as I knew I could have pushed through those jelly legs a bit more, both physically & mentally! But.. the main thing is that we are so grateful to the judges for saving us❤️. I’m just not ready for this journey to be over, and the thought of leaving last night broke my heart. I’ve made a promise to myself & Graz that this week I am going to work on controlling those nerves, and not letting them get in the way of me doing my BEST! This week we will come back even stronger than before and I’m ready to be pushed out of my comfort zone to prove that I can take on that challenge, turn the negatives into positives, learn from the judges comments and keep strong, even through the moments that feel the toughest. ❤️ dancing is my life at the moment, and I really don’t want that to change any time soon. ❤️ it’s time to work even harder and believe in myself just that little bit more. ❤️ thank you to my partner for always believing in me, even in those moments where I doubt myself!! And on the plus side, we got to do the angel lift again, which is a win because we worked really hard on perfecting it and we really wanted to be able to do it again 💜 London, United Kingdom
