Karen Carney penned an emotional message after their co-star left the competition
Following a Thunderbirds-inspired routine during Movie Week, Ross King became the second celebrity contestant axed from Strictly Come Dancing.
The performer couldn’t win over the panel as he went head-to-head with Balvinder Sopal in the nail-biting dance-off.
Strictly Come Dancing co-star Karen Carney expressed her devastation on Instagram following Ross’ departure from the competition.
Posting a photo of herself alongside Ross in their Movie Week costumes, Karen wrote: “Absolutely gutted. Since the beginning of this show @therossking has been a rock for me and is one of the most genuine and funny people I’ve ever met.”
She continued: “Have loved every minute of our @bbcstrictly journey and will miss you loads but know I’ll have a mate for life.”
During the Strictly results programme, Ross reflected on his experience: “I have loved every single minute of it.”
He added: “I would like to say thank you to everyone who has supported us, all the people who voted – they’ve been amazing.”
Ross went on: “I want to thank everyone here in this room, backstage, the judges, the crew – every single person here has made me so, so welcome.”
He concluded: “And, I want to thank a very special lady who has been with me through it all and has been absolutely everything: she’s been a mentor, teacher, carer and I could not have wished for a better partner, and I could not have wished to be on a better show. Thank you judges for all your remarks.”
His dance partner Jowita responded: “Thank you so much for all of your work. For everything you have done during rehearsals.
“We laugh a lot – but we also cried! Thank you so much, and I hope I’m going to be a little part in your life forever.”
Both Jowita and Ross are set to feature on It Takes Two on Monday for their debut television chat following their departure from the competition, reports the Mirror.
Ross also posted several photographs from his stint on the programme via Instagram whilst looking back on his experience.
Strictly Come Dancing returns on Saturday 18 October at 6:30pm, with the results show on Sunday 19 October at 7:15pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer
