Aljaz Skorjanec’s Strictly Exit
Last year, Aljaz announced that after nine years of being a professional dancer on Strictly, he would be stepping down.
He wrote on Instagram: “A little while ago I made the tough decision that Strictly 2021 would be my last. The show has given me an opportunity and freedom to create and express myself in front of millions of people every weekend for the last 9 years.
“The love and support I got from the team of producers was second to none. @jasongilkison, @sarahjamesface, @kimwinston, @jack.will.g are just a few of the unsung heroes behind the success of the show – I am forever grateful to them!”
Aljaz won the series in 2013 with model Abbey Clancy. He’s also been married to fellow Strictly star Janette Manrara since 2017.
