The CBBC star, 28, found himself in the bottom two in Sunday’s results show, with him and Nancy Xu dancing their Samba against John Whaite and his partner Johannes Radebe.
Rhys and Nancy fought back tears as they spoke to Rylan Clark on the show on Monday, who asked how they were feeling since leaving the show.

Rhys said: 'I feel good. I feel really proud of what we did and excited because... it was the semi finals!
'That semi final was intense, it was so good. That could have been the All Stars of Strictly so to be a part of that line up was incredible.'
The dancing duo danced the Samba and the Tango on Saturday night's show.
On training for their Samba, Rhys said: 'We just laughed through learning the Samba, we just giggled. That was so special when you’re just able to laugh throughout learning a routine. That’s the joy of dance. That’s what it should be.'
