Speaking to Fleur tonight, Les revealed: "That's what Craig's job is. I'm fine about it. My son Tom wasn't so fine about it. He said him and his friends were going to go down to London and give Craig a piece of their mind. He's only 12!"

"That lot up there, I’m going to miss you so much. I really appreciate and understand the judge’s point of view, thank you so much to Shirley for giving me a 10 for entertainment. I hope I’ve entertained, that’s what I came here for."
He added: "Strictly is the best and the people who put this on, you’re just all amazing!"
Of working with Les, Nancy explained that it had been a "lot of challenges" but she had loved seeing him improving.
"It's been a journey. This is such a short but a sweet journey. A lot of challenges we all know, but to see you to Les every day improve yourself. I respect you so, so much. I just want to say thank you to the judges and all my fellow friends. Thank you Strictly Come Dancing for all of your support. Thank you Les," she said when asked by host Tess Daly about her time on the show.
