Bill Bailey: Strictly star addresses ‘tough’ week as he talks breakthrough with Oti Mabuse

One person said: “We lost our crazy best friend a month ago to cancer… The hardest thing to do is make that decision to let them go. They really do steal your heart.”

Another person commented: “So sorry to hear about the loss of your furbaby.”

“So sorry Bill, it’s heartbreaking isn’t it? We’re gearing up to say goodbye to our own small boy, he’s so, so poorly,” another person remarked.

While a fourth person added: “So sorry for your loss Bill.”

Strictly Come Dancing airs tonight on BBC One at 7.10pm.
