Newsquest will not reveal the details of which two celebrities were found in bottom two as these results have not been verified (and so as not to spoil tonight’s show).
During last night’s (October 19) live show on BBC One, the leaderboard was topped by EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick and Olympian Montell Douglas, both with 39 points.
Borthwick and his professional partner Michelle Tsiakkas opted for a matador-inspired double step routine to the flamenco song Malagueña by Cuban composer Ernesto Lecuona, which judge Anton Du Beke praised saying “you will never dance a better dance than that, you were brilliant.”
Douglas and Johannes Radebe’s choice of carnival partner, which means they don’t have to dance a set routine, to the song Skeleton Move by KG and Zanda Zakuza was praised by Mosti Mabuse who said they “exploded with energy” on the dance floor. dance.
There were also plenty of Strictly “firsts” on Saturday night when JB Gill and Amy Dowden’s jive routine to the song Hey Ya! from Outkast marked the first time the couple opened the show.
Elsewhere, Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystal made Strictly history by dancing to an Oasis song.
Strictly fans ‘shocked’ by celebrity in background 2 in week 5
As the Strictly results show is filmed on the same night as the rest of the show, but airs a day later, it allows people who are in the audience for the filming to know who is eliminated in advance.
Because of this, the results leaked on social media late last night and those who found out “didn’t expect” a celebrity to be in bottom two.
“Oh. Didn’t see any of those coming at all,” this person wrote.
Another said: “Good decision but I did NOT expect the surviving couple to be at the bottom.”
A Strictly viewer also tweeted that he was “shocked by the person in bottom two who survived”.
This account commented: “Definitely didn’t expect one of those to be in bottom 2.”
One simply wrote: “Wow.”
The professional dancers of 2024
Someone else posted: “I was expecting one of these but not the other.”
Meanwhile, it seems some fans “agreed” with the results, as this person said: “Right decision, I’m so sorry!”
