Another celebrity has left Strictly Come Dancing 2018 in tonight’s results.
This weekend Strictly Come Dancing’s celebrity dancers and their professional partners once again each took to the dancefloor to impress the viewers at home – as well as judges Shirley Ballas, Darcey Bussell, Bruno Tonioli and Craig Revel Horwood in the studio.
Katie Piper and Charles Venn had to dance again and it was Katie who went home.
Tonight’s Strictly Come Dancing 2018 results
In tonight’s Strictly Come Dancing results, the judges’ scores were combined with the results of the viewers’ votes to decide the lowest scoring two couples facing the dance off.
This week, that was Katie Piper and professional partner Gorka Marquez, and Charles Venn and his partner Karen Clifton.
Both couples performed their routines again, Katie and Gorka performed their Jive to Why Do Fools Fall In Love by Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers and Charles and Karen performed their Salsa to Use It Up and Wear It Out by Odyssey, in a bid to impress the judges and remain in the competition.
After both couples had danced a second time the judges delivered their verdicts with all four choosing to save Charles & Karen.
Craig said: “The best dance for me. Charles and Karen.”
Darcey agreed: “The couple I would like to save for a stronger performance is Charles and Karen.”
Bruno added: “The couple that stood out for me, so I would save them, is Charles and Karen.”
Although her vote was not needed, Head Judge Shirley Ballas said she would also have chosen to save Charles & Karen.
After her exit, Katie said: “I have taken a lot from this experience and it has all been really positive, and I’ll never forget this journey. Charles was the better dancer out of us two and there are some brilliant dancers in this competition and sadly I don’t think I was one of them!
“But I have had a great experience you know and I feel really privileged to have been here and thanks for your advice and thank you (Gorka) for all the hours!
“One thing as well all the public not just the audience here but the general public have been so supportive online and have voted for me the other weeks so I feel thrilled to have been here for four weeks. So thank you to everyone.”
Katie’s pro partner Gorka added: “Well first of all thank you, for being such a wonderful human because you know everyone knows how much you have been through and everything…
“To get the chance to know you and be working with you and get to know how strong you are, how always wanting to be better and improve. For me that’s my lesson and what I learnt from you.”
The remaining twelve couples will take to the dancefloor again next week when Strictly Come Dancing returns on BBC One.
