Posting on Instagram, he wrote: "This show is a magical journey of discovery and this year I got to share it with a wonderfully funny, witty, down to earth and much-loved dancing partner. We leave with some beautiful memories. From our first dance, until the last, you have been one of a kind. You have been my whole world for 10 weeks - what a truly delightful honour. Here’s to my leading lady @elliejanetaylor, you are beautiful in many ways and I will miss dancing with you."
