Announcing his exit, Kevin wrote: “The past seven years have been some of the most wonderful of my life. I am grateful to the BBC and Strictly Come Dancing for giving me the opportunity to have been part of something truly special.”
Later in the month, AJ shared: “After four years on Strictly Come Dancing, AJ has decided the time is right to leave the show and follow his dreams to explore opportunities in the presenting world alongside his brother Curtis.
“AJ would like to thank the team at Strictly and everyone at the BBC for giving him such a brilliant opportunity.
“AJ would also like to send his love and gratitude to all who have followed and supported his career. He is excited for you all to join him on the next chapter of his journey.”

Strictly Come Dancing will return later this year to BBC One.
