Another celebrity has been eliminated from this season's Strictly Come Dancing. Sadly, they will also be missing out on the highly anticipated Blackpool special next week. This particular episode brought us more emotional moments than usual, with some standout performances and tearful goodbyes.
Firstly, we saw JB Gill take to the dance floor without his partner Amy Dowden, who was unfortunately forced to withdraw due to injury. Then, comedian Chris McCausland made history with a moving routine, and reality star Pete Wicks couldn't hold back his tears as he dedicated his dance to his late grandmother.
By the end of the night, JB and his partner Alijaz Skorjanec were at the top of the leaderboard, tied with Love Island's Tasha Ghouri and her partner Alijaz. In second place were Pete and Montell Douglas, along with their respective partners Johannes Radebe and Johannes Radabe, all with 36 points.
On Sunday's results show, it was a close call as EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick and singer Shayne Ward found themselves at the bottom of the leaderboard. Ultimately, Shayne and his partner Nancy Xu were sent home after a dance-off against opera singer Wynne Evans and his partner Katya Jones.
The judges were divided, with head judge Shirley Ballas choosing to eliminate Shayne and Nancy, while judges Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse wanted to save them. Only Anton Du Beke voted to keep Wynne and Katya in the competition.
Shayne had made headlines earlier in the season due to an awkward exchange with Katya, where he apologized for any tension between them. However, it was ultimately up to Shirley to make the final decision and she chose to eliminate Shayne and Nancy.
Reflecting on his time on the show, Shayne expressed his gratitude to his fellow contestants and the audience for their support. He also praised his partner Nancy for pushing him to become a better dancer and believing in his abilities.
Nancy also shared her pride in their partnership and how Shayne had improved so much since the beginning. She encouraged him to have more confidence in himself and thanked him for the experience.
In addition to the emotional eliminations, this week's episode also featured some standout performances. Comedian Chris opened up about his childhood and his journey to losing his sight, before delivering a poignant dance with his partner Dianne Buswell. They received high praise from the judges for their powerful routine.
Unfortunately, dancer Amy Dowden was unable to compete this week due to a foot injury. Her replacement partner, Lauren Oakley, danced with JB Gill instead. Despite not being able to perform with him, Amy sent a message of support and encouragement to JB, expressing her pride in their samba routine.
The results show also featured a special performance by Ball & Boe, as well as a tribute to Remembrance Sunday by the professional dancers.
As we look ahead to next week's Blackpool special, things are getting more intense and emotional on Strictly Come Dancing. Stay tuned for more amazing performances and surprising results.
