Strictly Come Dancing head judge Shirley Ballas has issued a message of support to Katya Jones following her exit from the competition.
The dancer and her partner, Lewis Cope, were eliminated in the dance-off on Sunday (7 December).
A tearful Jones told It Takes Two, "Looking back, I can't help thinking, 'maybe I could have done things differently.'"
Speaking exclusively to The Independent, “the Queen of Latin” admitted sending the pair home was "by far the most emotional" send-off since she joined the panel in 2017.
Only four couples remain as they head into the Strictly semi-finals on Saturday (13 December).
