"The bit about Caroline Flack on tonight's Strictly Best Of destroyed me. My favourite ever contestant anyway. Made me weep every time I watched her Show Dance (which I watch a lot). And then with her passing & it being Mental Health Awareness Day. I'm clapping & sobbing. #bekind" said another.

Another said: "That tribute to Caroline Flack on Strictly got me sobbing. Such a beautiful thing to do especially during this week."

In the seven minute tribute, Claudia said: "In 2014 she became the first celebrity to receive a perfect 40 for every single performance in the final."

"And she lit up the Strictly ballroom every single week," Tess added. "It is, of course, Caroline Flack."

Strictly pro dancer Janette Manrara added: "I think Caroline was probably one of the best, best dancers we have ever had come into Strictly Come Dancing."

Caroline tragically took her own life in her north London flat in February this year at just 40 years of age.
