“I say that the show brought me everything, like me sitting here today, and the relationship still very much continues.
“There were ups, there were downs; if you can imagine being the first Black anything, anywhere, there will always be ups and downs.
“Everyone asks me [if I’d return toStrictly]. I think right now, with a daughter and everything I’m doing, I’m quite busy, and I’m happy with what I’m doing at the minute. But never say never.
“The doors are always open, which is really, really nice. Aljaž [Å korjanec] went back and he’s doing really well.
“I went back to choreograph with him and he’s just in a different space.
“He’s absolutely sensational. So, you never know.”;
