Aliona Vilani quits Strictly Come Dancing: 'Series 13 was always my last'
The big night saw Jay battle it out for the sparkly glitterball with Coronation Street star Georgia May Foot, Eastenders actress Kellie Bright, and Katie Derham (who finished fourth).

Jay, a former member of The Wanted, said the pair sometimes needed to “create romance” as part of their routines – throwing cold water on claims they are anything more than friends.
The same can’t be said for ITV’s X Factor, which suffered disappointing ratings figures this series. Her performance brought everything together.
The force of the Strictly Curse is strong, but one couple it has NOT hit is pop star Jay McGuiness and his professional partner, Aliona Vilani.
But he lost out to Wanted star Jay McGuiness and Aliona Vilani at the final hurdle.
He said: “I just really thought that was that and then when we won it was the most unbelievable feeling”. It’s been one of the most special things I’ve ever done and with the most special person.
There were also those who questioned whether Bright was actually purposely awarded higher scores than the other contestants because she was the BBC’s favourite to win.
‘We did something that so few people do together, I genuinely will treasure it forever, ‘ he told host Lorraine Kelly.
Commenting on the criticism he had received from judge Craig Revel Horwood throughout the evening, including being told he started the competition with “no personality”, Jay said: “I think he definitely likes very theatrical, showy performances”.
Eliminated at the beginning of the results show, the 45-year-old was magnanimous in defeat.
However, it has been revealed today that Aliona has made a decision to quit the show, stating that regardless of what had happened on this year’s series, it was always going to be her last.
