Strictly Come Dancing stars who have sadly passed on since filming ended
With now only six contestants remaining, the 20th season of BBC's popular dance competition, Strictly Come Dancing, will soon be coming to an end. This series has offered up an array of tears, smiles and stars - and previous seasons have been no different.
In their final series, the couple scored a whopping 120 points altogether - the highest a couple had ever secured on the show. Upon winning, Caroline spoke of her joy and how much fun she's had on the programme. "This has been the best experience of my whole life, mostly because of Pasha, but also because of the other contestants. I'm so lucky to get to know this incredible bunch of people," she said.
In 2017, he sadly passed away, aged 89. In a tribute to her friend and ex co-host, Tess Daly at the time said: "From the moment we met, Bruce and I did nothing but laugh our way through a decade of working together on Strictly Come Dancing and I will never forget his generosity, his brilliant sense of humour and his drive to entertain."
Six years later, Paul sadly died, aged 77, in 2016. His assistant and wife, Debbie McGree, went on Strictly the following year after his death, and made her way to the final. She said of Gary: "I have a lot of patience, but he drove me to the edge. You're up against the clock to get a dance ready for the following Saturday. The audience want a spectacular performance, and it was hard for Gary to deliver that in such a short time, with all his other commitments - he has a family and a string of restaurants to run."
Lynda Bellingham Actress and TV presenter Lynda, who was best known for her roles in All Creatures Great and Small and Loose Women, died in 2014 after suffering from colorectal cancer. A few years before she died, in 2009, she appeared on Strictly and was partnered with Darren Bennett. The series was eventually won by sports presenter Chris Hollins and his professional partner Ola Jordan.
