Strictly Come Dancing 2019: Shirley Ballas to quit as fans spot emotional clue?

Craig added: “I think the standard of dance this year has been phenomenal,” and Motsi continued: “My first year on Strictly has been absolutely amazing. It’s been really, really fun.” 

When discussing Karim, they said: “Karim was the best technical dancer, he had the wonderful natural gift of love for dance. What is great about [him], he is as strong in Ballroom as he is in Latin and he really kept on pushing the boundaries, he never took the easy way, he always pushed himself.” 

Emma’s feedback was: “I think Emma has grown so much through the competition,” but Shirley revealed she was “worried about Emma’s confidence” at the beginning.
