Piers Morgan brands Strictly a ‘travesty’ after GMB co-star Ranvir Singh is voted off

The professional dancer responded: “You don’t have to be sorry at all, we’ve both worked very hard, you’ve been an absolute dream to work with.

“You are a true hero, your job at 3 o’clock in the morning then you come in the room and dance with me.

“More than anything you’ve grown as a person and this for me is the most rewarding thing that I could ask for, so well done to you. Well done.”

Reflecting on her time on the show, Ranvir said: “I’m sad not to be in the Final. But at the same time, I am glad that we’ve moved people to tears and the argentine tango was an amazing moment.

“We’ve had some really fantastic memorable moments and I know I couldn’t have got this far without you.”

The remaining contestants – Maisie Smith and Gorka Marquez; HRVY and Janette Manrara; Bill Bailey and Oti; and Jamie and Karen – will compete for the glitterball trophy in next week’s grand final
