Strictly's Katya Jones pays tribute to Nigel Harman after exit
Strictly Come Dancing pro Katya Jones has posted a sweet message for Nigel Harman after they were forced to leave the competition.
Nigel and Katya were forced to withdraw from the series this past weekend (December 2) after he sustained an injury to his ribs, though he will be appearing at the final.
After their exit, Katya took to Instagram to share behind-the-scenes snaps of her and Nigel and reflect on their time together.

"And here we are," Katya wrote, adding a broken heart emoji. "What an abrupt ending. But when the dust has settled, I know only beautiful memories will remain in my heart."
She then proceeded to list her favourite moments with the actor, writing: "When we turned up every day and had our coffees, when we would have discussions about the story of our dance and our characters, every time you made me laugh, every time you gave me a reassuring hug.
"When I would get excited about your toilet breaks because you always belted out some amazing tunes whilst doing your business," Katya added with a laughing emoji.
"Giving the first pre-view of our dances to your family, and see their faces light up. The support of your friends and countless messages of love and encouragement that we received. The list can go on."
