Meanwhile, Ranvir was recently eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing alongside professional partner Giovanni Pernice.
The pair missed out on a spot in the final this weekend.
Speaking on Instagram, Ranvir said: “Sadly it was not to be – but what a way to go… on a beautiful Waltz that got a score of 8,9,9 on the semi-final of @bbcstrictly.
“I couldn’t have done any more!
“My incredible partner – you @pernicegiovann1 tried your best to get me to the final and I’m just disappointed for you.”
She added: “I adore you. My feet are relieved to not be punished any more and although my heart is a little sad for tonight.
“Thank you to everyone @bbcstrictly for allowing me to be part of the show and thank you to everyone who voted and supported us for the last two months.
“What a privilege to be part of a show that gives so much joy to the country in this year of 2020.”
