Shaun Wright-Phillips has been eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing following the latest dance off, as the show confirmed a new twist for next week's Halloween episode.
The former England and Manchester City footballer and his partner Alexis Warr found themselves in the dance off for the second time after scoring 17, the lowest total of the series so far.
They were joined by actress Jaime Winstone and her partner Carlos Gu, who had scored 25 for their foxtrot to Olivia Dean's Man I Need.
Judges' Decision
On Sunday's results show (October 25), the two couples performed their routines again before the judges made their final decision. Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse chose to save Jaime and Carlos, while head judge Shirley Ballas opted to save Shaun and Alexis. Anton Du Beke, holding the deciding vote this week, chose to save Jaime and Carlos, meaning Shaun was eliminated.
Fans were quick to share their thoughts on the result. Many believed it was the right time for Shaun to go but were confused to see Jaime forced into the dance off.
One person posted on social media: "I feel really bad for Jaime, I would've put two couples below her and Carlos. But I'm SO glad Bethany made it through and I think Shaun going is the right decision."
Another added: "I feel so so sorry for Jamie, she done really well last night! Glad she got saved." Someone else said: "I absolutely love Jaime and Carlos and I thought the Foxtrot was gorgeous, much better than the judges are making out."
Triple Dance-Off Twist
Sunday's show also saw the surprise announcement of Strictly's first triple dance-off. The special twist is introduced for next week's episode that airs on Halloween.
The three couples with the lowest combined judges' scores and public votes will dance again next week, before the judges eliminate one pair as usual. Strictly will then return to a two-couple dance-off for the rest of the series.
Saturday's show saw the first perfect 10s of the series, with Delta Goodrem receiving the first after returning from injury. Winter Olympian Tabby Stoecker then bagged two 10s for her couple's choice dance to Stupid Song by Olivia Rodrigo, earning a total score of 37, the highest of the current series so far.
Strictly Come Dancing continues Saturday at 6.30pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
