"I would have hated to do an intimate dance with someone that young..."
"You've just given me a new zest for life, that's the most valuable thing I've come away with..."
The Strictly pro has jumped to the defence of his celebrity partner Toyah Willcox.
"This has to be one of the most shocking results ever," one viewer said.
Sadly, not every professional dancer has been given a celebrity partner on this year's series.
The professional dancers that each of the celebrities have been coupled up with were unveiled during Saturday's launch show.
“Our hearts are so full,” the couple said.
"I think this is going to be my eighth series, and I’ve had two partners on the main show," the Strictly Come Dancing star has said.
Kerri-Anne has been remembered in a heartfelt tribute from Strictly Come Dancing professional Neil Jones.
The Strictly Come Dancing professional and former Love Island contestant have been together for around seven months.
