“We had the most fantastic night – Anton was absolutely wonderful. He was even better than I could have ever of imagined. He helped to make the occasion even more special and really made people's night - especially Strictly super fans like me! He was also a real hit with our CEO and Chair. He did a superb job of hosting the awards presentation, getting lots of laughs. He was extremely amenable and agreeable when meeting people and especially with selfies and official pics.
