Strictly Come Dancing's Daisy Lowe, who wowed viewers with her smiley persona and incredible dancing capabilities despite finding herself in the bottom two three times, was eventually sent home in last night’s show (13 Nov).

Sob!

We're really going to miss Daisy and her partner Aljaz Skorjanec, whose exit left viewers fuming after Ed Balls was saved to go to Blackpool Tower Ballroom over her.

With a smile still on her face, Daisy said of her exit: "I’ve met people I will have in my life forever and it’s taught me so much more than I ever expected about myself and about my confidence."

Her time on Strictly has been turbulant, as she was recently forced to end her relationship with boyfriend Bradley "Frankie" Wade for the 'sake of both of us'.

Confirming the spilt and opening up to The Sun, Daisy said:

"People forget that with ‘Strictly’, it’s not just the training. You always have the show and you have to stay nearby the night before.

"Then you have to film ‘It Takes Two’ each week and you have videos to do. There’s so much stuff that comes alongside the show.

"So it was a really tall order to start a relationship at the beginning of it. As wonderful and kind as Frankie is, I realised I had to put myself first and take care of both of us as a result. It was just impossible."

Adding the spilt definitely wasn't messy, she continued:

"At the beginning, which is supposed to be the most joyful ­honeymoon period, I had nothing to give him.

“We could have coped with the pressure if we had been together for ages and had known all of the ins and outs of each other. But we had just met and suddenly it was like, ‘Who is this really tired person?’ I didn’t really know who this really tired person was either.

"Frankie deserves more than that, and so do I."

Awwwww Daisy :( :( :(

One things for sure, we're definitely going to miss that smile lighting up our Saturday nights.
