Chloe departed Strictly back in 2018. Addressing her exit at the time, she penned in an Instagram post: "All good things must come to an end. 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!" she added. 

At the time, Oti Mabuse, who has since left the show, shared her support for Chloe. "You will always have a great place in my heart and it has been a pleasure to have danced with you," penned the dancer.

Chloe danced on the programme for two years, during which time she wasn't paired with a celebrity partner for a full series. She did, however, dance with TV presenter Gethin Jones in the 2016 Christmas special.

Before joining Strictly, Chloe and AJ had enjoyed major successes in the world of professional dance, raking in coveted trophies at the British Open Youth Latin Champions, National Youth Latin Champions and European Open Youth Latin Champions. They also appeared as contestants on Britain's Got Talent in 2013 and even reached the semi-finals.
