'Every Monday morning at 5am I will drop you off at the station with bright eyes and a smile on your face, excited to teach and produce brilliant choreography every week.
“You may not have won the trophy but you captured the nation's heart last night and over the course of the series and really showed everyone what you can achieve.
“Also, a huge thank you to @kim winston for another year of the podcast. An absolute pleasure as always.'
Meanwhile, Dianne broke her silence on Sunday morning after the show's finale.
But as she reflected on the 2023 series, she said she was less “obsessed” with winning the trophy and chose to focus instead on the friendship she found with Bobby.
She said: 'I was so obsessed with winning a sparkly trophy, constantly thinking about that moment and what it would feel like!
“But what I've realized dancing with this amazing human being is victory and the sparkle is everywhere if you want it.
'Last night Bobby and I danced with so much joy, passion and emotion that my heart burst with happiness and pride and there was our victory!

But as she reflected on the 2023 series, she said she was less “obsessed” with winning the trophy and chose to focus instead on the friendship she found with Bobby.
“Bobby's only competition on this show was that he wanted to become a better dancer and a better professional himself, and helping him achieve both of those goals makes me a proud teacher.
She concluded by adding, “I am so grateful that I was lucky enough to work with Bobs and I am so excited about his bright future ahead of him. He is not only a real talent, but also a very sweet soul.
“Thank you for making me enjoy dancing like I was a little girl again, no fear, no fear, just love and passion for what I can do.”
