When asked by Tess about her time on the show, Sam said: “I’m gutted, I just want to say thank you. I’ve learned so much.
“Strictly has just brought that spring in my step back. It’s just been an absolute joy. I’m gutted because I do feel like I still have more to give,” she explained.
Sam was also full of praise for her dancing partner Nikita.
She added: “Nikita, you’ve been key in helping me find that inner Sam that was there, who went a little bit quiet for maybe one or two years and has just come back.”
The remaining nine couples will take to the dancefloor next Saturday when Strictly Come Dancing returns.
