The competition is really heating up on Strictly Come Dancing<\/a> as we approach the much-loved Musicals Week.<\/p>\n But fans of the show were worried after last weekend, when Sara Davies<\/a> was sent home and her partner Aljaz Skorjanec<\/a> gave a speech that many thought sounded like he was leaving the show for good.<\/p>\n Luckily, the dancer, who was voted fans\u2019 favourite professional earlier this year<\/a>, isn\u2019t going anywhere, at least according to his wife and host of It Takes Two, Janette Manrara.<\/p>\n Speaking on Zoe Ball\u2019s Breakfast Show, Janette said: \u201cHe is not leaving! I\u2019m going to put an end to the rumours, it\u2019s not happening. He\u2019s too in love with the show. I think he was just so happy with Sara and they just created such an amazing bond, an amazing friendship.\u201d<\/p> She added: \u201cHe fell in love going up to Newcastle and being with [Sara\u2019s] family and meeting everybody up there, up North. So I think he was just gutted that the series ended for him.<\/p>\n \u201cBut you know, we are friends with her. I told her she is stuck with us forever, she has no choice.\u201d<\/p>\n After Sara was announced as the latest celebrity to leave Strictly, Aljaz gave a heartfelt speech.<\/p>\n \u201cI feel like from that day we met under the Angel of the North, I was so pleased to dance with you this season,\u201d he said. \u201cHonestly, I wouldn\u2019t want to dance with anybody else. You have been an absolute joy and a testament to hard work \u2013 not just on Strictly but with your business and you\u2019re a beautiful mother.\u201d<\/p>\n He added: \u201cThank you for letting me spend so much time not just with you, but with the whole family, the Davies that are here tonight, all of the little ones at home. I\u2019ve been so welcomed up North, it made me feel like I\u2019m back home in Slovenia because everyone is so lovely and friendly. I\u2019m going to miss you so much. I\u2019m going to miss dancing with you. I\u2019m going to miss everything about this show. Thank you everyone and thank you for supporting us.\u201d<\/p>\n Strictly Come Dancing continues next Saturday on BBC One at 6:35pm.
