“I’m just in awe of her. She inspires me every day with her skill, dedication, creativity and positivity but I’m so happy she got the opportunity to show how truly amazing she is,” he added.
“I said it a few times but since I’ve been watching Dancing with the Stars, I’ve never seen a better celebrity dancer than Rhys. However, he didn’t come in at the start of every week like that, Laura moulded that raw talent to create some of the best dances Dancing with the Stars has ever seen.”
Continuing on, he explained: “To teach Rhys who has never danced before to do those high-level dances is a pure testament to who she is and how amazingly talented she is.
“Laura, I love you and I’m so proud of you! You deserve the best beautiful.”
