Actress Rebecca Humphries has said the kindness she received from people in the "revelatory" weeks following the Strictly Come Dancing kiss scandal will enable her to "rebuild" herself.
Humphries recently made headlines after her now ex-boyfriend, Seann Walsh, was photographed kissing his Strictly Come Dancing partner, Katya Jones.
Comedian Walsh and professional dancer Jones issued apologies shortly after the incident.
In an article on kindness for Vogue, Humphries has thanked those who messaged her as the situation unfolded.
"It's been a revelatory few weeks in many ways," she said. "On October 8, I had an aim: to present a more fully formed and accurate version of a woman than the neater, simpler character of 'spurned partner' that was already being run with.
"The woman whose truth I was standing up for was myself. In doing so came revelation number one; that of a strength and resoluteness I had forgotten I possessed.
"That's the self-aggrandising out of the way. Secondly, were the more palpable revelations. Stories and accounts that have since been splashed across the front pages by complete strangers about the most personal, deeply heartfelt aspect of my life.
"But perhaps the biggest shock (no mean feat), has been of the thousands of people who recognised the Wonder Woman behind that statement was at the same time standing in the ruins of a shattered reality - and their rush to offer humour, perspective and life-force to help rebuild it."
Humphries described the response as "the most dynamic electric storm of kindness you could ever hope to experience" before saying: "Thank you everyone for your kindness.
"It has gifted me the tools to sweep up the shattered bits and rebuild myself - but better. This time round I shall be diamond studded with self-worth."
Walsh and Jones became the fifth couple to get voted off the current run of the dance competition after losing to Graeme Swann and Oti Mabuse in the dance-off.
