“Being a part of @bbcstrictly is the hardest and best thing I’ve ever done.
“Thank you for everything my beautiful @jojo_radebe. Except the Cha Cha Cha. That was terrible.”
Fans were “in tears” when the couple left the show, including Em who said, “And we’ve absolutely loved watching your friendship and watching @EllieJaneTaylor improve and get better week after week, it’s been a joy.
“I’m gutted it’s over for both of you, but thank you for 10 weeks of pure fun.”
Ellie choked as she turned to Johannes and said, “You [Johannes] are as amazing as everyone said you would be, and i said you are like a human sunshine and you really, really are.
“You see people and you saw me, at every point. I was so worried and so out of my comfort zone and so self-conscious and so weird and you’ve said, ‘Hug your weird Ellie.’
“You did it so wholeheartedly and without judgment. It was an absolute privilege to dance with you JoJo, I don’t know what’s running through your body, but it’s not blood, it’s rhythm and its music, and to see you to watch it perform is incredible.”
Johannes was left sobbing and struggling to get his words out before telling the comedian, “Oh my god – it was a pleasure, honey, that’s our thing.
“Ellie Taylor, come on, hug your weird! Embrace your long limbs, because you are a beautiful person. So thank you for everything, you know my heart, thank you.”
Strictly Come Dancing continues on Friday at 8pm on BBC One.
