When asked by presenter Tess Daley about their time on the show, Davies said: "I had no idea any of this was in me, it’s been a life-changing experience and one I’ve loved every second of."
Aljaz was then asked if he had any words for his partner.
He said: "I feel like from that day we met under the Angel of the North, I was so pleased to dance with you this season. Honestly, I wouldn’t want to dance with anybody else."
