Strictly Come Dancing fans are convinced they have worked out which celebrity will be the next to leave the hit BBC ballroom competition, following a tearful live show on Saturday night.
The Bottom Three and Emotional Scenes
After the judges' scores were tallied, the three couples in the most danger were Alex Kingston and Johannes Radebe, La Voix and Aljaz Škorjanec, and Harry Aikines-Aryeetey and Karen Hauer. The live broadcast saw emotional scenes, with actress Alex Kingston breaking down in tears following the judges' critique of her performance, prompting host Claudia Winkleman to rush to her side.
Despite Alex's visible distress, the majority of viewers online do not believe she will be the one to depart the competition this weekend. The consensus among fans points towards a different outcome.
Viewer Predictions Point to a Specific Dance-Off
With both Harry and Alex scoring 30 points from the judges and La Voix close behind on 29 points, the final result now hinges on the public vote. However, dedicated followers of the show have made their predictions clear on social media.
One viewer stated unequivocally, "Going Home: La Voix," while another forecasted, "Predicting a Harry vs La Voix dance off with Harry going home." This sentiment was widely echoed, with a different fan commenting, "REALLY hard to call tonight but I think it could be La Voix vs Harry in the bottom two." Further agreement came with posts like, "Predicting a Harry and La Voix dance off," and a simple, "Harry will be in dance off."
A Spectacular Mash-Up with Diversity is Revealed
In other Strictly news, a special performance has been confirmed for the results show on November 16. The dance troupe Diversity, who shot to fame after winning Britain’s Got Talent in 2009, will make their Strictly debut in a unique mash-up.
The performance, choreographed by Jason Gilkinson and Diversity's own Ashley Banjo, will feature 14 members of the group, including famous faces like Perri Kiely and brothers Ashley and Jordan Banjo. They will dance to Raye's 'Where Is My Husband?' alongside five of the show's female professional dancers: Luba Mushtuk, Nadiya Bychkova, Michelle Tsiakkis, Nancy Xu and Jowita Przystał.
A Strictly insider described the number as a "spectacular" extravaganza set in LA, where "old school Hollywood collide[s] with hip hop." The routine will pay homage to iconic screen sirens from the Golden Age of cinema, including Marilyn Monroe. This results show will also feature a performance from pop star Olly Murs and is the last episode before the highly anticipated Blackpool Special, which airs on Saturday, 22 November.
The speculation over the next elimination comes after judge Shirley Ballas shared a touching tribute to the most recently eliminated contestant, actress and model Ellie Goldstein, who left the competition the previous weekend alongside her partner Vito Coppola.
Strictly Come Dancing continues Saturday and Sunday on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
