Billy Crawford has nothing but gratitude to everyone who had been part of his journey in France’s “Danse avec les stars” (Dancing With the Stars), an experience that will “forever be imprinted in his heart.”
The actor-TV host made sure to give credit to those who supported him including his French dancing partner Fauve Hautot as well the show’s contestants and staff, through his Instagram page on Tuesday, Nov. 15.
“It’s been a few days since we won [‘Danse avec les Stars’] but from the bottom of my heart, thank you again [Fauve Hautot] for your patience and your amazing talent,” Crawford said. “I am forever grateful to have worked with someone as dope as you!”
“To all the pro dancers who helped each other to give an amazing show to the French public, salute and respect to all of you! The judges, thanks for encouraging us that we could always be better no matter what the circumstances are!” he added. “To all the public who voted for me and Fauve in the end, THANK YOU!”
