"So we booked the studio that we would have rehearsed in for this week’s live show and spent the afternoon dancing old routines and trying a little of the quickstep we never got to do."
In a video, he added: "Hey everyone. So even though I was voted out of Strictly, we decided we would keep dancing like a pair of losers." Amy added: "We've done our waltz, our Tango, a Paso."
The pair shared a snap of themselves in rehearsals
Tom said: "My schedule is with Strictly and I had nothing else to do, and the kids are at school, so we thought, 'Why not?!'" Their Strictly co-stars were quick to comment, with Tess Daly writing: "Ahhhh love you two!" Sara Davies added: "I’m so jealous! I’m gonna make @aljazskorjanec come and dance with me too cos I miss it sooooooo much!" Dan Walker also praised the pair, writing: "You two are brilliant."

Chatting about his final dance on It Takes Two, Tom said: "I loved it. It was a really special one. I did it for my sister who is a musical theatre actor. It was the first time I had a real personal connection to the dance. It felt completely different dancing with an emotional connection like that so I loved it. The fact we got to do it twice was quite special and leaving on a dance that meant something to me was sort of perfect."
