Kristina shared a statement on social media, which appeared to take a swipe at her TV ex.

"Stina has danced, Stina has HEALED, Stina is still dancing."
Upset viewers reacted: "You’ve been the most wonderful, natural, unique lovely woman on this year to date. He’s made a massive mistake letting you go. No one should ever use someone’s health issues against them."

A second agreed: "I just don’t get him!! Bangs on about how amazing you are and then just suddenly changes his mind! You deserve better!";
A third raged: "It's been hard to see him chipping away at you for weeks... You deserve so much better."
The dog walker from East Sussex was paired with Kieran Chapman, 28, from Newcastle and they immediately fell head over heels for each other.
Labelled one of the show's strongest 'marriages', Kieran soon made a u-turn and started comparing Kristina to his ex, leaving his 'wife' frustrated and hurt.

The final commitment ceremony saw Kristina make a heartbreaking admission and choose to "leave" the experiment.
The TV star, who has previously described how her Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) has affected her life, said: "I'm a lot, I know I am, I just want to be loved that's all it is, I just want to be loved.
"I have been so patient and so understanding and so respectful. The ball's been in his court for ages. So... I'm going to leave!"
Mechanic Kieran also wrote "leave". He told Kristina: "I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving this your all.
"I just genuinely wish you the best for the future.
"Don't change for anyone."
Kristina replied: ";Thank you for the most magical, amazing day of my life at our wedding.
"I'm gutted but I do only wish you the best.
"You'll be in my life. Don't worry."
Fans were previously quick to call out Kieran for "making excuses" after admitting he did not want to be intimate with his spouse.
On Instagram, Kieran penned a lengthy message for his former wife.
He said: "Kristina, first of all I’m sorry. I’m sorry that I couldn’t be there for you, I’m sorry that I’ve been trying to decide over the last couple of weeks whether I have it in me or not.
"I’m sorry I voiced that you have similarities to a previous relationship, and I never meant to compare you. I’m just sorry I couldn’t make it work.
"This sounds brutal, I know.. but I wasn’t the man for Kristina, and she deserves someone to put her on a pedestal.
"Someone who can give their whole self to her, someone who can support her through the highs and lows. But I’m afraid that just isn’t me anymore. In the past absolutely, I wanted to be a healer, a helper, someone’s world..."
He continued: "I’m not saying I’m the only one to ever go through really bad times in my life, not at all, but what I did go through has taught me exactly what I want and need from a partner, and although Kristina has a lot of gorgeous qualities, and is a beautiful human, I just can’t be the support that she needs, and that’s really sad.
