Update

Ladies and Gents!

I hope everyone is well and enjoying the summer....I arrived back from my holiday this morning, so feeling a little jet lagged but a perfect time to update you on my blog!

Joe and I went away for a week after the end of the Pro Tour, and we had a lovely and very relaxing break. It was also a good time for me to get away as I felt exhausted after the months of touring, so some relaxation was just what I needed. It did feel quite strange after our last show, as for the first few days after, I felt like I was supposed to be on stage, lol! It took some time to re adjust my routine. The tour really was such a memorable experience and I did love every minute. All the pros became a real family throughout, and even now it seems strange not seeing everyone every day. I know I have told many of you on facebook but thank you all so much for making it extra special for me. You have all been incredible, and I felt your support in the audience so many times, especially with the banners, which I loved! The last night in Bournemouth was very emotional for so many reasons. The dance with Brian was upsetting as we will no longer be working together on Strictly, so I will always remember my time with him during the Pro Tour. But on behalf of everyone thank you all. Thank you for the gifts, the flowers and champagne, the chocolates and for everything, I am so so grateful.

I went to see the first night of Burn the Floor, to see Brian and Ali dance. It was so breathtaking and I was really moved. They are beautiful together and I wish them all the best for the rest of the show and for the future. If you have not seen it then you must go, as you will really enjoy it!

I am now back in England but not for long as in a few days I am going to the States for a couple of weeks. It will be my last time for some time off before Strictly starts, so I want to take the chance to spend some time with my mom and friends. Really excited to be heading back! The next few days I will be running around sorting a few things out, I have recently moved so am just about all unpacked!

Once again thank you all for everything. We are about to start a new journey together in Strictly, so not long till it begins. Watch this space for news of my celeb partner and much more! I will be on facebook whilst I am in the USA so will stay in touch.

All my love
