The most recent episode of Strictly Come Dancing saw the departure of yet another celebrity contestant. Opera singer Wynne Evans bid farewell to the show after being eliminated in the eighth week of the competition. Despite the disappointment, Wynne expressed gratitude for his time on the show, stating that he had a "wonderful time" and felt that he truly experienced the essence of Strictly.
Wynne, who is best known for his appearances in the Go.Compare insurance advertisements, failed to impress the judges with his Charleston routine during the dance-off at the iconic Blackpool Tower Ballroom. This was not his first time in the bottom two, as he had narrowly escaped elimination the previous week. Unfortunately, this time he was unable to secure enough votes to stay in the competition, and was sent home.
As for Wynne's competitors, Olympic athlete Montell Douglas and her partner Johannes Radebe were also in the bottom two, but were ultimately saved by the judges. Their energetic Salsa performance to Thelma Houston's "Don't Leave Me This Way" earned them unanimous praise from the panel.
Reflecting on his time on the show, Wynne expressed his love for the "Strictly family," and encouraged others to take a chance and join the show. He also expressed his gratitude for his professional partner, Katya Jones, who he described as a joy to work with and someone who brings light, laughter, and charisma to every room she enters.
In addition to his impressive dancing skills, Wynne also made headlines during his time on the show for an incident involving his hand placement on Katya's waist. He later apologized for it, calling it a "silly joke" and stating that it was misinterpreted by the public. Despite the backlash, Wynne remained focused on his performances and continued to give it his all every week.
The latest episode of Strictly also featured a performance by the iconic Pet Shop Boys and a sultry routine by the professional dancers to Jacob Gade's "Jalousie Tango." In terms of scores, Montell found herself in the bottom two despite earning 35 points from the judges, while reality star Pete Wicks, who received 27 points, was saved by the public vote. Jointly topping the leaderboard were actress Sarah Hadland and Love Island star Tasha Ghouri, both receiving 39 points.
