Helen Skelton has posted a touching tribute to her friend and former Strictly co-contestant, Kaye Adams, following Kaye's exit from the show. Kaye and her pro dancing partner, Kai Widdrington, were voted off the show on Sunday.
The duo had found themselves in the bottom two of the competition, which meant that they had to battle it out with Matt Goss and his pro partner, Nadiya Bychkova, to remain in the running. Unfortunately, Kaye and Kai did not do enough to wow the judges, with three out of four voting them out.
Kaye then suffered an "awkward" moment just hours after her exit, when she was asked who had been voted off the show that evening. In a post on Twitter, Kaye said: "Just ordered room service in my hotel. The nice lady who brought it asked me ‘any idea who went out of @bbcstrictly tonight?’ I said ‘me’ awkward silence."
But, despite the sad end to her time on the show, Kaye was treated to a touching tribute from her friend and co-star, Helen Skelton. The Countryfile presenter, who is still in the Strictly line-up with her partner, Gorka Marquez, took to Instagram to share a post where she revealed that Kaye is "stuck with" her.
Sharing a couple of sweet snaps from the pair's time on the show together, Helen said: "If you’re lucky enough to have met Kaye you will know what a legend she is. You’re a class act @kayeadamsofficial and am sorry to say you’re stuck with me [heart face emoji] #strictlycomedancing #kayeadams #proud".
Replying to the post, Kaye said: "I couldn’t be happier to hear that!!! Xx". And other friends and Strictly co-stars were quick to respond, too.
Fleur East, responded: "She’s amazing!!" Followed by a heart emoji. TV presenter, Ulrika Jonsson responded with a series of heart and fire emojis. And Strictly star, Kym Marsh, replied: "She’s the best", followed by a heart emoji.
Kaye posted her own Strictly departure post on Instagram last night, sharing a video of her and Kai walking arm-in-arm. She captioned the post: " That's all folks!!! Well until the final I get to walk arm in arm with @kaiwidd once more!
"Thank you for being so lovely @rylan on It Takes Two and every single one of you who has shared kind messages and comments. They've truly meant the world!"
