On the Strictly spin-off, JB gave her a sweet shout out in the form of a video message.

"You're a wonderful teacher, a beautiful soul and you're gonna be back dancing better and stronger very, very soon," he said. "Thanks for absolutely everything over the last few months."

JB and Lauren made it to the Strictly final where they finished runners-up to champions Dianne Buswell and Chris McCausland.

Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturdays 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.
