"I have thoroughly enjoyed being a part of this show full of glitz and glamour and, of course, being a part of everyone’s Sunday night winter TV viewing. It’s been a brilliant five seasons since we launched in 2017, working with the best crew in the world.
"I have smiled and laughed my way through those 59 shows to date, and what a journey it’s been. I take away the greatest memories.
"Thank you Amanda and Jennifer and of course Lottie for stepping in. Thank you RTE. Thank you to the amazing team in ShinAwiL.
"Thank you to Loraine, Brian, Arthur and Julian and all of the professional dancers. Thank you to the crew of hundreds who made all of those shows special.
"I wish whoever takes over from me the absolute best. Just don’t fall down that stairs at the start of the show! You’ll have an absolute blast."
