Robin Windsor has spoken out about how he felt, hanging up his Strictly dancing shoes and leaving the SCD ballroom for good.
Last year the fan favourite missed out after injuries left him unable to take part, and the dancer, who partnered celebrities Lisa Riley and Deborah Meaden in the past, is no longer a Strictly pro.
"It was really hard to sit and watch from home," Windsor admits of the 2014 series, adding that this year has already been easier.
"After five years, it's a good time to move on," he told a crowd at the Radio Times Festival. "So many opportunities have come my way because of Strictly."
"I will live Strictly for the rest of my life – which is fabulous!"
