Speaking about her time on the show, Angela said: "I have made the best friend in this man. We have had so much fun, he is such an incredible guy.

"He has supported me and picked me up and made me laugh so much. I don't know what to say, it's been magical honestly."

Her dance partner Carlos said: "Her commitment and her strength every day, day by day - I'm a professional dancer and she works so hard, harder than me.

"Look at her now - I am so proud, her sense of humour and we had so much fun everyday - she cracks me up laughing."
