The Strictly Come Dancing professional clearly still has a lot of love for the Virgin Radio regular.
Fresh off the Strictly Come Dancing tour and quickstepping on to the red carpet the TV Choice Awards, professional dancer Carlos Gu is clearly a busy man, but he was more than happy to share his thoughts exclusively with virginradio.co.uk and other press about the final performance at the O2 arena.
He had some conflicted feelings as although he described it as 'brilliant', he went on to say: "It was emotional. We had so much fun and it's an absolute great gang.
"[But] last night was brutal for all of us. [We were] like crying, crying all the time. But it was beautiful. We had a great time!"
Despite workload and clear emotional toll it can take on all the professionals, including Carlos, he was keen to make clear that despite the pressures, it's worth it when you see how much of a reaction they can get from a crowd.
He continued: "It never ends, like Strictly is your life. You've dedicated your life to Strictly and for dancers that's especially important. But also seeing people, how much they're enjoying it with us or how much they can be entertained and be happy because of us was amazing.
"Even in the [O2] arena, with the people shouting at you. Some people got emotional because of what you are doing [to them], it was just absolutely beautiful."
One person Carlos would certainly regard as beautiful and still holds a special place in his heart for is his most recent celeb partner, and regularly recurring Virgin Radio presenter, Angela Scanlon.
The pair were a formidable force within the competition, narrowly missing out on the first round of finals and leaving a lasting impression on the viewers at home.
Full of compliments for his new best friend, Carlos insisted that Angela hasn't left the ballroom, at least mentally.
He said: "No, we never. I said, No, we will never get rid of each other.
"[She] destroyed it, she's so good. [I can say] as a professional dancer, not only because I am her partner, that she's a finalist. She's finalist material!
"She's so good, to not be in show."
Then the praise kept coming, as Carlos continued with: "She's so fun. And she's so quirky. She's everything you could ask for you know, and for me like to meet Angela... we're like soul mates. We're genuine like soul mates. And so we will not go anywhere from each other's life.
"And her daughter, the youngest one, Marnie was, she would literally crawl on me on the show.
"They watch it on a Saturday. She was like, 'only me,' you know, so it was beautiful. Just talking about it makes me emotional."
Carlos rounded out the brief chat with hopes that he'd be returning to Strictly for the next series, but couldn't confirm, and had a special message for Angela ahead of her filling in for Jayne Middlemiss, who is herself covering for Chris Evans on the breakfast show for Virgin Radio.
His message went: "Ange.... I know is a new show tomorrow for you. I wish you have a biggest fun and remember, remember me and talk about me. I love you so much. Have fun. Hi, darlin, you're grand!"
You can listen to Angela Scanlon from Tuesday 13th Feb to Friday 16th Feb here
