His shock departure has elicited a huge response from fans.
But Brendan Cole has received little comfort from his fellow Strictly Come Dancing professionals.
In fact, insiders say he's had virtually no messages of support from the other choreographers on the hit series.
Currently, only a handful have offered their well-wishes, including Neil Jones, Oti Mabuse and Janette Manrara.
Meanwhile, the others - including Kevin Clifton and Giovanni Pernice - have all remained silent.
A source told The Sun : “Not one of Brendan’s colleagues came out in support of him, and it didn’t go unnoticed.
"Over the years the pro dancers have been on Twitter hundreds of times posting messages about celebrities and professionals as they’ve left.
“For no one to say anything about Brendan who has been on the show since Day One felt like a real snub.
“He might not have expected anything from the judges for obvious reasons — it’s well known he clashed with them regularly.
“But many of the pros have known him for years, so that hurts.”

However, he has received public support from other stars who've had brushes with the show.
Arlene Phillips posted a message to Twitter which said: 'Showing my support for my favourite bad boy of ballroom. I know what you’re going through!'.
Actor Davood Ghadami said: "Such a pleasure to know Brendan Cole. During my time on Strictly he was supportive, creative and always passionate.
"True gent with incredible ability and im sure a bright future."
Helen George added: "Brendan, so sorry to hear about bbcstrictly. You were so brilliant and kind when I was part of it!
"And as a contestant and viewer I found your honesty refreshing. You’ll be sorely missed my friend!".
