Claudia continued: "Amy, from your entire Strictly family, we're sending all our love and we cannot wait to have you back on the dancefloor." Before Tess said: "This one's for you!" A dazzling performance came as the professional dancers and judges, Anton Du Beke, Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse paid tribute to their "Welsh dragon" on the dancefloor.
