“You have just been incredible in so many ways. Week one I dreaded the thought of dancing alone and I gripped onto you for dear life during our waltz but somehow by week 10 you managed to get me shaking and laughing on that ballroom floor when dancing by myself.
I have enjoyed every single second of it
“You have helped to grow my confidence in so many different ways whilst also helping me discover things about myself I never knew.
“These are all things I’m going to remember for the rest of my life!! I have absolutely loved learning to dance with you we had the most fun.”
She added: “Thank you to everyone who supported us through this crazy journey it’s something I am going to remember and be so grateful for for the rest of my life!!”
It comes after Tilly’s famous dad, Gordon Ramsay, also paid tribute to the star after her exit.
Posting a picture of Tilly and Nikita, the proud dad shared: “Words can’t describe how proud I am of these 2, hard working polite humble and incredibly down to earth.
