I'm not happy to report that rugby champ and anti-bullying superstar Ben Cohen got bumped from BBC's "Strictly Come Dancing" last night after a 9 week run.
As he received the news on the live broadcast, Ben had this to say: "When would I get to dress like this every day, wear all the lycra and maybe not a top! Now I can dance at my kid's parties. Kristina has been great, I've thrown her into walls, dropped her a few times and she has been great - thanks ever so much for putting up with me!"
Like a great champion, Ben took the loss with further grace posting this on his Facebook page:
Thank you all so much for the support during my time on Strictly Come Dancing. I had a blast and met some great people. A big Thank You to Kristina Rihanoff for teaching me to dance. You have a patient of a Saint and made my Journey fun and exciting. Thanks Ben
With typical good nature, Ben's hard work showed throughout the competition, but always accompanied with a smile and light-hearted fun.
Whether on the dance floor, the rugby field or fighting bullying, Ben continues to inspire.
And speaking of inspiration, let's take one more look at one of the highlights of Ben's run on "Strictly Come Dancing" - his shirtless and passionate Paso Doble.
