She captioned the post: ‘I just wanted to thank you for all the love and support and energy over the these last few months.

‘It was SO gorgeous looking out at your beautiful faces every night, connecting with you all meeting so many of you who had travelled from all over the world to come and see our show.

‘It really is such a privilege to be up on that stage and perform for you… especially as it’s 25 years since we started.

‘It really felt so incredibly special to feel so much love, joy and positivity. Love you all and here’s to the good times ❤️’.

Rachel and Brendyn first met on Dancing On Ice in 2022, as he was Rachel’s partner.

They unfortunately among the first couples to be eliminated, leaving the competition in Week 4, however they didn’t allow that to sour their relationship. 

A source said: ‘Rachel had a really great friendship and partnership with Brendyn and it keeps developing…she wasn’t expecting to find love again at this stage in her life but she’s feeling positive about what’s to come and hopeful about a new start.’

Rachel was previously in a relationship with Alex Bourne, the father of her two daughters. The two announced their divorce in July 2022.
