00:00Oti, I've got to ask you as well, because obviously your time on Strictly, you were shocked, weren't you?

00:04You got a little bit tearful.

00:05I did. I had to redo my makeup because I actually started crying because for me...

00:11Oh, that's all right. It was a big deal.

00:14Yeah, it's a big deal. I think as someone who loves the show and has been a part of it,

00:18Claudia and Tess have been the queens, you know, two women side by side,

00:23just really defending each other, protecting each other.

00:25And they care. When you know them as people, they check on you.

00:29How are you? How's your child? How's your husband? How's your family?

00:32And this feels like an end of an era for me, generally.

00:36They are my Saturday night. They are the moms that take care of us.

00:40They lead the show so impeccably well, and I think it's a shame.

00:43It came out of nowhere. Of course, I called my sister.

00:46I was like, what the hell is this? And she's like, you're in England.

00:48I'm like, you're a judge. You should go.

00:51And so, honestly, we had two minutes of just silence, just both of us in shock,

00:55because it came out of nowhere.

00:57But I wish them luck. It breaks my heart, because I absolutely love them,

01:01and I think they made the show, and I just wish them luck.

01:04I wish them the best.

01:04So, let's go.

01:05It breaks my heart, because I love it.

01:05So, let's go.

01:06So, let's go.

01:07So, let's go.

01:08So, let's go.
