And finalist Chrystal Chenery nearly didn't make it to Sunday's performance, according to Harvey.
"Chrystal overdosed on vitamins on Saturday and was unwell all day, sleeping on the couch between rehearsals."
We caught up with her as she hangs up her dancing shoes.
Were you expecting to go home this week? If not, who did you think would?
I had a feeling it would be our turn to go home, because the other three are just so good. It was still surreal hearing our names at elimination though. I'm not the best dancer technically, but I made sure I gave it all I had every time for the audience.
What's been the hardest part about this experience?
Not having any spare time! My work colleagues at The Edge have been so supportive, doing all the work behind the scenes for our radio show, and my husband Dom took over all the work at home.
Of all the judges' comments, was there anything that really stung? Why?
Sometimes the judges contradict themselves from week to week so it was hard to know what they wanted each time. I did like to argue with them though, which is always fun on live TV!
What was your favourite thing about being on the show?
The backstage crew are awesome, awesome people. And Enrique is my new best friend. Plus it was so much fun entertaining the nation!
And least favourite?
Elimination always sucks. Nobody wants to go home and it was hard to see people leave each week. Also, dancing on a swollen foot was difficult and frustrating.
Who are you picking to win?
Too hard to tell! Simon has gone from zero to hero, which is a great story but Siobhan and Chrystal are so beautiful and elegant to watch. They all deserve to win.
