Sharing a tribute to Matt on her Instagram last night (October 16), Nadiya said: “I am so grateful I got to teach and to dance with this incredible man, a music icon.
“But more importantly I got to know real you @mattgoss. And you are tender, kind and the truest of gentlemen.”
She continued: “We were stood there, watching Kym dancing in the dance-off, and he was saying: ‘As a gentleman, I can’t compete with a lady @marsh_kym, with a friend.’
“He loves and cares about each and everyone there @bbcstrictly it was difficult to compete for him, because he didn’t want anyone to leave the competition.”
She concluded the message: “He is a real gentleman and more. I couldn’t be more proud of you partner.
“And I feel so lucky now I have a friend like you in this world.”
