Second week in a row that I've teared up and it was seeing Oksana crying, as with Katya last week, that got me. Unlike Katya Oksana is a more reserved person and to see her cry affected me. From the way he was kissing her it's clear that Rob is very fond of her.

I will miss both. They had a great run with some good dances along the way. My highlights were the cha cha cha, the QS and that paso, which I love.

Farewell Robert and Oksana and thank you for 11 brilliant weeks of utterly joyous, exuberant dancing. Your enthusiasm has been infectious, and the utter dignity you showed as you left tonight was exemplary.

Saturdays won't be the same now without you.

I'd like to echo all the sentiments above... Ann, Dervla, LadyL, Maggie, Sunshine... you've said everything that I want to say. I'll miss the joy that Rob & Oksana brought to the show. They were happy dancing and I was happy watching them. Farewell to a truly lovely pair .

On the plus side, we get to watch them on ITT tonight - it's going to be emotional though I expect!

Oh goodness me wasn't it? One of the best exit interviews I've ever seen though and SO many highlights to show.

I really hope Rob and Oksana can dance together again. I would love to see them join the tour, even if it was a guest appearance for a couple of shows or something. Or bring him back for the Christmas special next year! And every year after that too!

Late, but just want to echo all the sentiments above. Though he wasn't the best dancer, he's the one that always made me smile and enjoy the show.

Having read the spoiler, I couldn't bear to watch the results, but will do so eventually.

Their appearance on ITT provided a lot of insight--how well they worked together despite Rob's limited, late rehearsal schedule, that he'd tried to teach her to play the piano, how much he also meant to her. It was quite moving to see her so upset.

Oh my word, have only just this minute watched the Results show although I knew the outcome.

I didn't expect to find myself with tears rolling down my cheeks. What a beautiful man JR is, and I think the fact that Oksana was so emotional showed that it wasn't "show" time face with him, he was a genuinely lovely person.


I won't be watching any more SCD this year, JR was my favourite and although I would like Claudia now to take the title from the rest of it, I am not that bothered at all!!!

The saddest thing about Rob's exit is that the man who arrived with THATcha cha cha was shuffled off like an elderly person to a home

Thanks for the link! What a pair, and they really did become friends (not just the "I've found a friend for life" stuff).

I'd come to terms with his leaving, but seeing Oksana in the background last night a bit lost amid the more outgoing pros made me a bit sad.

Oh I so know what you mean! Last night was strange .... a very odd feel to the Clauditorium and Oksana looked very classy but very bemused by some of the more crazy antics.

I'm looking forward to the final next week when all the celebs come back and we get to see Rob again. Hopefully there will be a group dance and he and Oksana will be able to reprise some of their moves again.

Thanks for posting the Twitter photo. Great shot of them both and they look happy. They're doing the "keep dancing" move

I'm looking forward to the finale too and seeing Rob and Oksana back along with Ed and Katya. Strictly's lost it's sparkle after both left one after the other

Thank you Sunshine. This made me chuckle. Good to see both Rob & Greg got a break after all their hard work on the dance floor. Will be nice to see Rob & Oksana reunited this evening.

Naughty Rob hoisting Claudia up in the Clauditorium! Such fun to see her laughing and ticking him off.

So pleased that there is a lovely friendship there between my 2 favourite male celebs!! However, felt JR and Oksana looked strained tonight - didn't spend any time together other than their bit in the dance.....and even that wasn't "together!"

My favourite couple - thank you for some fabulous dances and laughs x
