James Bye and Amy Dowden have left Strictly Come Dancing 2022 following Halloween week. The EastEnders actor and Welsh professional dancer are the fifth couple to leave the series after facing the dreaded dance-off with Fleur East and Vito Coppola.
Speaking about his time on the show, James said: "I've said this from the very beginning, all I can do is go out there and do my very best. I am dancing against Fleur East, I went and did my best but she is phenomenal.
"I've had the best time on this show and I have a friend for life [in Amy], all I can do is thank the family, and I have a new family now. It's a competition but you don't feel like that backstage, you honestly feel like everyone has each other's backs and everyone is just willing everyone to do their best!"
