The dancer decided to leave the show after ten series before the birth of her son, Ewan in April.
Erin explained that it was quite a shock to producers that she was leaving: “We went to see producers in early June and said ‘thank you very much, but no thank you’ ... It was a bit of a shock to them. It was sad, but I was ready [to start a family].”
Baby Ewan was born on her husband, Peter O’Dowd’s 50th birthday, and Erin says it made it even more special: “When Ewan was born, they wrapped him up, handed him to Peter and I said, ‘happy birthday’. It was a moment I’ll treasure forever.”
