    Strictly results leave viewers furious as Angela Rippon is saved and Krishnan Guru-Murthy eliminated

    The Strictly results are in and fans are less than impressed after the judges voted to kick out Krishnan Guru-Murthy just a week before Blackpool.

    Last night (November 11), the remaining couples took to the ballroom floor in the hope of impressing the judges – Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and Shirley Ballas.

    However, it was bad news for Krishnan and Angela Rippon as they were given the red light treatment, landing them in the dance-off.

    Both couples performed their routines again, Krishnan and his dance partner Lauren Oakley performed their samba to Bamboléo by Gipsy Kings. Then Angela Rippon and her dance partner Kai Widdrington performed their paso doble to Hung Up by Madonna.

    After both couples had danced a second time, the judges delivered their verdicts…

    Judges pass verdict in the dreaded Strictly dance-off

    Craig chose to save Angela and Kai.

    Craig said: “Well Krishnan you really upped your game in that dance-off, it was magnificent. Angela you nearly lost your supporting leg darling in the kick but you saved it, miraculously. But the couple that I would like to save and go through to Blackpool is Angela and Kai.”

    Motsi also chose to save Angela and Kai: “To be honest I’ve never been so undecided in my decision, I’ve been going back and forth, back and forth, in the end I’ve decided for fundamentals and technical level so I will be saving Angela and Kai.”

    Anton voted to save Angela and Kai, too: “Well also I thought both couples danced very well – it was a super dance-off, if there is such a thing. But just for the cleaner technique really, and the more recognisable fundamentals, I’m going to save Angela and Kai.”

    Shirley, however, disagreed with her fellow judges and said she would have decided to save Krishnan and Lauren.

    “Well I picked the person that I felt was more grounded on their feet without any technical errors and I would have saved Krishnan and Lauren.”

    Strictly results: Krishnan’s exit speech

    When asked by host Tess Daly about his time on the show, Krishnan said: “Look this has been the most incredible experience. I said it has been life-changing and it genuinely has. I am incredibly grateful to the entire production team, judges, my incredible Strictly family up there.

    “It’s right I am going out this week and I have got to get back to life. The thing that has made Strictly really special is Lauren. She is most incredible teacher, partner, friend. She is the real Strictly star and I am so delighted I am the first partnership you have had. Lauren is going to go a long way and I am very proud of her.”

    Fans react

    Viewers weren’t best pleased with the Strictly results, though.

    One commented: “Shame as Krishnan was so well liked and embodied everything that Strictly is about. I would much prefer to see him at Blackpool than Angela R.” Another agreed and posted: “I knew that would happen. I don’t like shouting fix but FIX for Angela and Blackpool.” A third commented: “She could’ve been up against Ellie and still get saved for Blackpool. She was terrible again this week. Hopefully next week she’s out!”

    Another concluded: “I’m sick to death of Angela R, mainly because of the fawning from the judges. Yes, she’s great for 79 blah blah but she’s had a really easy ride through the competition so far, over marked, and been saved when she shouldn’t have been. Krishnan was the real deal, sad to see him go.”

  • Strictly fellas Nigel and Krishnan have undergone the biggest transformations since Week 1

    Strictly fellas Nigel and Krishnan have undergone the biggest transformations since Week 1

    As Strictly Come Dancing enters the eighth week of the competition, things are beginning to heat up on the ballroom. Eight celebrities remain, battling it out for first place.

    In tonight’s episode (Saturday, November 11) the remaining celebrities are: Ellie Leach, Bobby Brazier, Nigel Harman, Layton Williams, Angela Scanlon, Angela Rippon, Annabel Croft and Krishnan Guru-Murthy.

    As the competition has progressed, Strictly viewers have taken note of which celebs have made the most progress since their debut. Join ED! as we compare and contrast the biggest transformations since week one.

    EastEnders star Nigel Harman emerged as dark horse, quickly becoming one of the favourites to win the competition. His Pasa Doble to Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit impressed the judges, scoring a mighty 32 points.

    However, as the weeks have gone on, Nigel appears to have stagnated, with his chances in the competition apparently diminishing.

    “Nigel was crowned the winner on week 1 and since that week he has just gone downhill he needs to leave now, he is not improving like the others and clearly peaked in week 1! Byeeee!” exclaimed one viewer on Twitter after his dance three weeks ago.

    “I feel like Nigel is not living up to his initial promise. His side of the Tango was stiff and awkward: felt Katya was distracting us with her amazing performance to cover this up. He needs to up his game,” said another, following last week’s dance.

    Indeed, Nigel’s chances have now regressed, with the former EastEnders star falling behind Ellie Leach as predicted winner.

    Can Nigel recapture the magic?

    Strictly smiler Krishnan Guru-Murthy impresses with ‘so much improvement’

    Strictly viewers have continued to praise Krishnan for his continued improvement since week one. Although the Channel 4 newsreader is currently bottom in the bookies’ odds to win, his hard work and marked improvement have been noted.

    “Krishnan what a transformation from your first dance, if the competition was based on improving then you would win it by a mile, who knew you could groove it out to Paul Simon. Brilliant,” wrote one viewer.

    “There was a mistake half way through I seen but even the best dancers make mistakes at times. Can see so much improvement from Krishnan from week 1,” another commented.

    “Krishnan’s best dance to date by a mile. It’s lovely to see someone who really can’t dance give it such a solid effort. Complete transformation, congrats Krishnan!” said a third viewer, after last week’s dance.

    “I’m so impressed by Krishnan’s character transformation. Well done Lauren too. Much stronger dancing from Krishnan for this Paso,” another had said.

    Is Krishnan’s enthusiasm enough to keep him in the competition?
