“Hope you have a fantastic rest of your lives together… have a great night.”

The Australian ballroom dancer said the personal message had “made our night”.

Strictly professional Janette Manrara is one star expected at the ceremony.

She wrote on Twitter on Wednesday: “Slovenia, you were FAB-U-LOUS for Christmas!

Now Santa & I are partying all the way to New Year’s Eve!! Heading back to London for @JasonGilkison & @jamescarney10 Wedding & for the #NewYearsEve Celebrations!”

Jason joined Strictly in 2014 as director of choreography and is also a judge on So You Think You Can Dance Australia.

There was more matrimonial news from the Strictly camp today, as Aston Merrygold announced he is engaged to his partner Sarah.

The Strictly Come Dancing star shared his joyous news on Instagram, along with a picture of himself touching his new fiancee’s baby bump.

He wrote: “Allow me to introduce you all to my fiancée #TheMerrygolds #shesaidyes #enganged #wifey #mummydaddyandbabymerrygold.”

Former JLS star Merrygold sweetly tagged the location of the picture as “Cloud 9”.

Ms Richards wrote on her own social media account that she had had “the best Christmas Eve of my entire life” and that her heart was “full to the brim”. Awww!

She added that she was “floating on cloud 9” and told Merrygold that she promises to “be the best wife”.

Aston had earlier shared a pic of Sarah and him with their families, crowded round a table celebrating the holidays.

The couple have been together for around five years and announced they were expecting their first child together in September as Merrygold started his journey on Strictly.

Sarah showed off her neat bump last week!
