Last night’s Strictly Come Dancing saw some intense competition as the celebrity couples gave it their all in a lively Samba-Thon, but not everyone made it through. While JLS star JB Gill and Love Island’s Tasha Ghouri both secured top scores of 46, there was a surprising twist as one couple was eliminated.
The ninth celebrity to be voted off Strictly has now been revealed, and the decision has fans buzzing! Who missed out on a spot in the quarter-final next week? Find out who went home last night and how the elimination unfolded. Stay tuned as we bring you all the latest updates and surprising results!
Last night's Strictly Come Dancing elimination saw EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick sent home after a tense dance-off. Jamie, along with his partner Michelle Tsiakkas, faced off against Olympian Montell Douglas and her pro partner Johannes Radebe.
Despite Jamie and Michelle's graceful foxtrot to Stand By Me by Ben E. King, which earned them a score of 32, the judges unanimously chose to save Montell and Johannes, who had impressed with their quickstep to Get Happy by Ella Fitzgerald, scoring 37.
Reflecting on his journey, Jamie called his time on the show “magic” and praised his professional partner, Michelle, calling her the “most amazing teacher.” He also expressed deep respect for the entire Strictly team, emphasizing the friendships and bonds formed during the competition.
Michelle reciprocated the praise, sharing how much Jamie had improved week by week, and how their partnership had been a special experience for her as a first-time professional partner.
Following last night's elimination on Strictly Come Dancing, fans took to social media in shock and disappointment. The results were leaked ahead of the broadcast, leading to widespread reactions from viewers who were caught off guard. Many fans expressed their disbelief at the elimination, with some claiming that the wrong contestant had been sent home.
One fan wrote on IG, "Jamie was amazing tonight. He deserved to have a higher score, justice for Jamie and Michelle" while another commented, “I don't understand why the judges are being so hard on Jamie and Michelle it makes no sense." Others echoed similar sentiments, calling it “disgraceful” and “a shame,” noting that neither of the contestants in the dance-off should have been there.
The next episode of Strictly Come Dancing will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer at 7:05 pm GMT, on Saturday, Nov. 30, 2024.
