STRICTLY Come Dancing’s Balvinder Sopal has broken her silence with a message to rival Ross King, after landing in the dance-off.
EastEnders star Balvinder, 46, found herself in the bottom two last night which saw Ross, 63, become the second celebrity to leave this year’s Strictly.

Now Balvinder has broken her silence with a sweet message to Ross.
Posting a picture of the Good Morning Britain star alongside his partner Jowita Przystal, the soap star wrote: “Another first…. the dance off! I am certainly getting the full Strictly experience!.
.
“It’s the most difficult part of the show, I think. We all work so hard, all week, and none of us wants to go home. So when one of us does… it shakes the group.”
.
Addressing Ross, Balvinder wrote: “@therossking you are so beautiful and it’s been a pleasure getting know you.
“I’ve loved our conversations and loved laughing with you. It’s not good bye, its see you soon, dear friend.
“@jowitaprzystal you are dynamite and it has been a dream watching you burn the dance floor over the years and then to finally be in the same room with you and watch you do your thing – pure magic.
“You are incredible and you and Ross together were wonderful.”
She then went onto thank the judges and the viewers, as well as her dance partner Julian Caillon,
Balvinder’s message comes after a tearful Ross waved goodbye to Strictly.
After it was revealed he would be leaving the show, he thanked everyone on the show, including his pro partner Jowita during his exit speech.
He said: “I have loved every single minute of it. I would like to say thank you to everyone who has supported us, all the people who voted – they’ve been amazing.
“I want to thank everyone here in this room, backstage, the judges, the crew – every single person here has made me so, so welcome.
“And, I want to thank a very special lady who has been with me through it all and has been absolutely everything: she’s been a mentor, teacher, carer…
“I could not have wished for a better partner, and I could not have wished to be on a better show. Thank you judges for all your remarks.”
Soon after the Results Show ended, Ross took to Instagram to share behind-the-scenes pictures from Saturday evening with his Strictly pals.
He captioned the snaps: “There aren’t enough words to express my gratitude for this amazing opportunity.

“Thank you to everyone who has been on this journey with me – the Strictly cast and crew, friends, family, my wonderful dance partner Jowita, and most importantly, to the fans.
“You kept me inspired with your kind words and kept me in the competition with your votes.
“I hope like me, you’ve been inspired to try something new and as always, keep dancing!”
Ross was flooded with support from his Strictly family, with host Tess Daly saying: “Adored by the entire team you will be SO MISSED Ross.”
While Vicky Pattison added: “Love you so much @therossking. I’m going to miss you so much too.”
Strictly airs on Saturdays on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
