"If you asked Ranvir, 'Do you know your steps?' She'll probably say, 'No'," he continued. "Because the good thing with ballroom is that she follows me and I'm able to lead."
Of their partnership, the pro dancer revealed: "So the connection between us was strong and it's still strong. To be honest, there has to be a connection."

Asked by host Zoe Ball what had surprised her the most, a tearful Ranvir replied: "It was about more than just the dancing… I didn't expect that.
