The 58-year-old star always said he’d stay on the show until he was 60.

A third viewer said: “The way he is bringing up the Strictly past (21 series) ex-celebrities and words – I think he’s going to mention something tonight once all dances have been completed. I hope not, he’s one of the best!”
And a fourth said: “”Craig getting emotional, wow.”

“I’m so pleased that you did take a risk. And I think back, actually, to series one and I was imagining Natasha Kaplinksy doing that and how far this programme has come,” he told them.
