I consider myself to be a huge Strictly fan and it's always been my dream to watch a live show - something I finally got to do this weekend.
Little did I know that it would be such a historical moment because I was at the last show before hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman shocked the nation by announcing they would both be quitting after 11 years as co-hosts.
I didn't suspect anything was afoot when I was bustled into the BBC studios at 4pm to watch the show, but looking back, perhaps there were signs.
They had warned us that filming could take up until 11pm but it was more like 11.30pm when things finally wrapped.
I am a huge Tess Daly fan, but she didn't quite seem like her bubbly self. It was like she had lots on her mind.
She seemed a bit distracted and kept fluffing her lines during the results show, so she had to retake them. She told the audience: 'I don't normally mess up.'
No doubt she was being too hard on herself, ever the professional, she does way more than just present.
She really knows her stuff and it's clear when you watch her present that she almost takes on a producer-type role.
She offers suggestions on where to stand or ad-libbing, and I frequently saw her chatting to members of the crew between takes.
After reports that it was Claudia who first mooted the decision to step down, we know that Tess and Claudia both agreed that if one should leave then the other should follow suit, so it's no surprise that they are going together.
The show has also been rocked by a string of scandals in recent years, so perhaps the pair thought now was the best time to leave.
Sitting in the studio, which feels much smaller in person that it looks on screen, Tess appeared rattled as she tried to get her lines out perfectly on the night.
It is well known that both installments of the show are filmed on Saturday night, after the live show airs, Sunday's results show is also recorded.
While Tess was relaxed in her clothing choices, taking off her heels for a more comfortable pair of slippers.
She didn't seem like the lady she appears on TV on the night.
Claudia, who did seem more composed, also made a couple of mistakes throughout the night.
But I saw little of her as she stayed up on the balcony with the celebrity couples for most of the live show.
This year has been a tough one for the show, with various scandals being widely reported.
I hope it isn’t the end for Strictly, but it’s hard to imagine who would be able to fill Tess and Claudia's huge shoes.
