"We are home and I just want to reassure everyone that she is ABSOLUTELY 100% FINE!! She's certainly made some headlines, with her slightly over-zealous attempt to join in with the #StrictlyFitness routine , but I promise you no harm came to her, she was immediately showered with hugs and cuddles from the wonderful @jmanrara and @aljazskorjanec - and I reckon she was just trying to show everyone what a huge @bbcstrictly fan she is!"
"I have so much love for Morning Live, as do Dolly and Oliver, and it’s been really very humbling to hear how much love there is out there for them both. So thank you to all the brilliant Morning Live viewers, all is well, and we’ll be back up with the brill @gethincjones and @samquek13 in a couple of weeks."
