AJ Pritchard says he’ll ‘miss’ Strictly after quitting show – but family say he ‘had’ to leave ‘to give more to world’
He added: "I will definitely miss the first day, when you meet the celebrities. You as the professional are usually pretty chill but the celebrities will forget their name. We usually have to shoot it a couple of times."AJ left Strictly after four yearsShe continued: "We all support Strictly but we all support AJ and his decision.
"His light is burning bright, so he needs to use that opportunity and give more - give more to the public."AJ previously opened up to The Sun's Bizarre aboutHe said: “Every single year I thought, ‘How the hell am I going to get out of bed to keep going?’ — because of the sheer energy levels.
“You would do 18-hour days, mentally there is a lot of stress on you and you’re on TV every day. It kills you. “I won’t miss Monday morning rehearsals in a freezing studio at 8am. I will happily never do that again. There’s a lot of strain, both physically and mentally." In his first year on Strictly in 2016 AJ reached the semi-finals with Olympic artistic gymnast Claudia Fragapane, 22. He came fifth in competition the following year with ex-Saturdays singer Mollie King, 32, and again the next year with British Paralympic athlete Lauren Steadman, 27.
