Annabel Croft and her professional dance partner Johannes Radebe narrowly missed out on a place in the final, having been eliminated during the semi-finals last week.

"I’d like to say a huge thank you to @bbcstrictly for sending Annabel my way and also to everyone involved in the making of this show," Johannes wrote in a heartfelt post on Instagram after their exit.

"This experience wouldn't be what it is without you and I am grateful to be a part of this. You are all amazing."

Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturdays and Sundays on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
