Professional dancer Aliona Vilani has announced her decision to leave Strictly Come Dancing, three days after winning the show.

On Saturday night, Aliona and Jay McGuiness, who were the bookies’ favourites to win, were crowned champions of the celebrity ballroom-dancing show.

Earlier today, Aliona revealed the news via Twitter saying she had already decided that this year would be her last in Strictly Come Dancing.

This is her second time to win the competition as she was also victorious back in 2011 alongside Harry Judd, of McFly.
