Dan Walker has delighted fans as he reunited with his Strictly Come Dancing co-stars.
The BBC Breakfast host made it all the way to the quarter-finals of the hit dance contest with professional partner, Nadiya Bychkova.
Dan, 41, faced a lot of stick for making it through ten weeks of training sessions and dance routines on the hit BBC show.
But that didn't stop the votes and continuous support flooding in for the presenter.

Many fans, however, were left disappointed when Dan ruled himself out of the Strictly 2022 live tour.
Instead of performing, Dan has been showing his support to the show's cast of judges, professional dancers and celebrity stars.
So much so, he whisked several of them off for dinner when they arrived in his hometown of Sheffield.
First, Dan had time for a round of golf with Kai Widdrington.
"Great afternoon whacking a ball around @hallamshiregc with @kaiwidd," the former Football Focus host said alongside a selfie of the pair on Instagram.
Later, Dan and Kai were joined by Nadiya, Rhys Stephenson, Tilly Ramsay, Nancy Xu, Katya Jones, and Nikita Kumzin, as well as judge Craig Revel Horwood and the tour's host Janette Manrara.
The group headed to Dan's favorite curry spot, who even named a dish after Dan during his time on Strictly as he trained in the city with Nadiya.
"What a lovely treat to take some of the #Strictly family out for a curry with my family," Dan shared alongside his Instagram post.
"We had a great night at @prithiraj_restaurant - where we took @nadiyabychkova during the series. Thanks to Sobuj and his team for being so kind and making the most amazing food
