In an Instagram post that featured a picture of her on Strictly, Hewitt shared a message with her fans, thanking them for their support over the past few days.

"All good things must come to an end," she wrote I just want to say thank you to everyone for their beautiful messages. It means the world to me and I will get back to you all, I promise."
"This is only the beginning. So in Little Miss Sunshine style, Watch out world I'm coming for ya!"

Her former colleague, Oti Mabuse also shared a message of support on Instagram.

"You will always have a great place in my heart and it has been a pleasure to have danced with you," she wrote, under a picture of the show's female dancers in a group embrace.

Hewitt was with Strictly for just two years, during which time she was not paired with a celebrity partner for a full series, although she did dance alongside TV presenter Gethin Jones in the 2016 Christmas special.

She's not the only pro departing the series ahead of its return this autumn – fan favourite Brendan Cole has also been axed.

Meanwhile, Italian Graziano Di Prima, South African Johannes Radebe and four-time winner of the Italian Dance Championship Luba Mushtuk have all been added to the roster.
