Who is leaving Strictly?

But who ended up in the dance off? And who was eliminated? While we will not be sharing the result, a lot of Strictly viewers have been who went on X, and the verdict has divided them.

Sharing their thoughts on X, it’s fair to say plenty of fans were left fuming by the elimination result.

“One of the biggest shocks in #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing’s 21-year history. I AM GOBSMACKED!!!!!!” declared one person.

Someone else added: “Absolutely ridiculous.” A third chimed in: “That’s diabolical.” Echoing their thoughts, another commented: “I can’t believe it. Tomorrow night’s show is going to ruin me.”

A fourth fumed: “The #StrictlySpoiler is horrendous. I’m devastated… not to mention the quality of performances will really suffer the next two weeks.” A fifth declared: “The British public actually disgust me.”

What happened on Strictly last night?

It was a jam-packed night on Strictly on Saturday (December 6). Things took an emotional turn though, when Balvinder Sopal broke down in tears following her performance.

After performing a Viennese waltz to Never Enough from The Greatest Showman, the judges were full of praise for the tearful star, who has now survived five dance-offs.

“I’m so proud of you,” Motsi Mabuse told the star as they hugged.

“Whatever you’ve wanted to say for the last few weeks came out through that dance,” Motsi gushed. She added: “It must be really demoralising, what you have been through in this competition.”
