Singer-songwriter Matt Goss has posted a message to supporters after he became the latest celebrity to leave the current BBC Strictly Come Dancing series.
The 53-year-old competed in the 20th series of the show with professional dance partner Nadiya Bychkova.
This week, the pair danced the jive to All Shook Up by Paul McCartney and received a total score of 20.

Goss took to Twitter to thank his supporters, writing: “Just taking the day to decompress. I came on social media not knowing what to expect and I am completely humbled, and to be honest with you, very emotional at the outpouring and kindness that I have received. We are all complex, thank you for recognizing my heart.
“@bbcstrictly was out of my comfort zone but I did gain so much from the experience. This moment alone… reading your comments has given me a sense of deep comfort. It was an incredibly big decision to come back to the UK. Thank you for making me feel like I’m home.
“Thanks @NadiyaBychkova for your continued grace & patience. Not only are you a World Champion, you’re a world class teacher! If any of you see me out & about please come say hello. Tonight definitely feels like I have an extended family.
“My deepest love & thanks, Matt
“#Strictly”
This week Hamza Yassin and Jowita Przystal scored the highest scores from the judges, receiving 39. This is the highest score of this year so far.
