Pasha, who welcomed a little girl called Maven with his wife Rachel Riley in December, announced his departure from Strictly in February 2019, leaving fans completely devastated. At the time, the 40-year-old - who joined the Strictly family in 2011 - said in a statement: "After scoring 93 perfect tens, reaching 4 finals lifting 1 glitter ball, it's time for me to find a new challenge and so I've decided to make last year - my final season on Strictly."
