Aliona Vilani has revealed she's QUITTING Strictly Come Dancing.
The pro partner became the first ever pro dancer to win the show twice this year after lifting the glitterball with celeb partner Jay McGuiness.
But Aliona has now revealed she won't be back to defend her title.
She's set to follow the likes of Ola Jordan and leave the series, writing to her followers on Twitter: Going into this Strictly Come Dancing series 13, I decided that no matter what would happen, it will be my last one."
She added: "After 7 years on Strictly Come Dancing, as my finale, this has been my best Strictly experience ever by a long way!"
Aliona and Jay won the latest series on Saturday night but have had to rubbish claims of a romance.
Speaking about his time on the show and dancing with Aliona yesterday, The Wanted singer Jay said he had found a new best friend.
"I think when you dance with someone you have to create romance and people want to see that," Jay said of the pair's relationship. "I think no matter what I say, people will write whatever they want to write.
"Me, her and her husband and I my family just ran at each other and just became like a big family.
"We did something that so few people do together. Genuinely I will treasure it forever."
He added: "Honestly you spend that many hours together you talk about every single thing. Like the most trivial and the most pretentious, introspective, literally everything.
"No matter what happens you get a best friend out of Strictly."
The new series of Strictly returns to BBC One next autumn.
