She has been a longtime fan of Strictly Come Dancing and believed in Shayne's talent, urging him to take this opportunity.

Family Support

Shayne expressed that joining Strictly was one of the best decisions he's ever made. His daughter is also following his footsteps and preparing for a dance competition. Shayne and Sophie got engaged in 2017 and have a three-year-old daughter named Willow together.

Backlash and Support

Despite receiving some backlash from trolls after his debut dance performance on Strictly, Shayne has been supported by fans who appreciate his character and talent. He responded to the negative comments by reposting a message from a fan, highlighting his kind and caring nature.
