At the time, she said: “I really enjoyed my experience on Strictly Come Dancing. I loved everything about the show, dancers, judges, BBC, celebrities, fans – all of it was a pleasure to be a part of.
“This year, I will focus more on my dance school in New York City, since I was away so much.
“However, I will be more than happy to stay involved with the show in the future.”
