“Encouraging many a conversation about loss & giving people an outlet for the tears they might find hard to release is a wonderful legacy of your time in the competition so far.

“You said something in the VT about making me proud of you? You and your brother achieved that a long time ago.

“Don’t forget I’ve seen the journey and you both have my lifelong support & unwavering respect,” the presenter expressed.

The television personality went on to thank Dianne, 34, for supporting his son on and off the dance floor, before going on to admit how much he loves seeing his boy perform on stage.
