Anton Du Beke will "never, ever leave" \'Strictly Come Dancing.
The 53-year-old ballroom dancer is a veteran of the BBC show, having made his \'Strictly\' debut in 2004 but Anton has called speculation that he will quit the show as "nonsense".
Speaking on ITV\'s \'Lorraine\', he said: "It\'s absolute nonsense. I can\'t leave, ever, never."
And host Lorraine Kelly told him: "It wouldn\'t be the same without you. It\'d be crazy."
Anton made it all the way to the \'Strictly\' final this year with his celebrity partner, Emma Barton, and Anton was full of praise for the \'EastEnders\' actress.
He said: "Emma was just fantastic, just brilliant. She\'s such a super fan of the show, there was always that wonderful feeling that she was just so thrilled to be there and that enthusiasm was wonderful to work with. She was just wonderful and I was so delighted for her that she made the final and did the whole journey from start to finish. I\'m absolutely thrilled."
Although Anton was disappointed the pair didn\'t pick up the glitterball trophy, he admitted that it could be a good thing that Kelvin Fletcher and Oti Mabuse pipped him and Emma to the title.
He joked: "To make the final is enough but if I\'d have won I\'d have been unbearable."
Anton also revealed he had his first ever spray tan on the show this year and dyed his hair darker to keep up with the young, male dancers.
He said: "Because the boys are all so young and gorgeous, so I did my tint a bit darker than usual and then I looked a bit pasty so I had my first ever spray tan."
