The dancer took to Instagram to share a series of quotes about kindness, which followed on from the unkind remarks that were made towards Strictly Come Dancing star Tilly Ramsay last week.
The three posts read: "Choose to live your life boldly," "Choose to embrace your differences," and: "No one should be bullied or called names for simply being who they are."

"You've done the tour, Harry. It's amazing. You get such a rush of adrenaline," he added. Harry then asked Bruno to give his verdict on this year's Strictly stars, but he was unable to do so as the show is difficult to watch in the United States.
