The show confirmed his departure this morning: “Sadly after eight incredible series, the brilliant @PashaKovalev has decided to leave #Strictly. Pasha, from all of us, thank you for your amazing choreography and routines over the years. You’ll be sorely missed!”

Pasha tweeted: “After scoring 93 perfect tens, reaching 4 finals and lifting 1 glitter, it’s time for me to find a new challenge and so I’ve decided to make last year- my final season on Strictly.”

“I’ve had 8 fantastic years, full of wonderful memories, thanks to the incredible partners, professionals and myriad of behind the scenes teams who all work to make Strictly the amazing production that it is.

“The biggest thanks go to all the members of the public who’ve supported me so much over these years- I look forward to seeing you on the Strictly Pro-Tour this spring, and for many future adventures to come,” he added.

Pasha lifted the glitterball trophy with Love Island host Caroline Flack in series 12.

Commenting on his exit, Strictly Come Dancing said: “We would like to thank him for everything he has contributed to the show over the years and wish him the very best for the future.”

There are no doubts fans of the show are going to be devastated to hear about Pasha’s departure but we’re sure he will keep dancing.
