Anneka Rice has become the second celebrity to be eliminated from this year’s Strictly Come Dancing after Movie Week.
The Treasure Hunt star and partner Kevin Clifton failed to set the dancefloor alight with their Kill Bill inspired Charleston for their routine to Woo Hoo by The 5,6,7,8s.
After falling to the bottom of the leaderboard with only 11 points, they had to face-off with David James and Nadiya Bychkova, who performed a Batman Forever routine to Kiss From A Rose by Seal.
Performing on last time, the pair made a bid to impress the judges once more – and the judges unanimously voted to save David and Nadiya for a second week in a row.
Craig said his decision was down to David and Nadiya’s ‘commitment and improvement’, while Motsi said they were ‘more emotional and a stronger couple’.
After being eliminated, Anneka admitted it was the right decision and said: ‘To be honest, I’d have saved David and Nadiya.’
‘I’ve just loved this whole thing; I’ve not one negative about the whole experience. We’ve worked really hard, I’m covered in bruises,’ she continued.
Hugging Kevin, who won last year with Stacey Dooley, she said: ‘I love this man; it’s been a joy to have that honour, that privilege of learning to dance. It’s a whole new world to me Tess.’
She added that she hoped that her new ‘11 and a half’ dance moves will come in useful at her son’s wedding next year.
‘You’ve put in so much commitment and so much effort,’ Kevin added.
‘You delivered that waltz last week… then to come out and deliver that charleston – the improvement you’ve made, I’m so proud of you, it’s been an absolute joy.’
They bowed out by skipping out on the goodbye slowdance, and instead ran around the dancefloor together for one last joke as My Heart Will Go On was performed.
Now, 13 couples remain in the competition – and David is proving himself to be a dance-off assassin by eliminating James Cracknell last week as well.
Will he manage to evade the dance-off next week?
Strictly Come Dancing returns next Saturday at 6.40pm on BBC One.
