Strictly Fans 'Work Out' Why Lewis Cope Left as Viewers Rage

Lewis Cope was eliminated after judges unanimously saved Amber Davies following the Week 11 dance-off on Strictly Come Dancing, despite Cope's strong leaderboard performances.

  • During Week 11's results show on Sunday, December 7, Emmerdale actor Lewis Cope was eliminated after judges unanimously saved Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin.
  • The show's voting system, which weights judges' scores equally with public votes, placed Amber and Nikita top with 40 but sent them to the dance-off alongside Lewis, who scored 35.
  • Both couples reprised musical-themed routines, with Amber Davies scoring 40 for her Charleston and Lewis Cope earning 35 for his salsa to 'Dance At The Gym'.
  • Amber Davies now joins EastEnders actress Balvinder Sopal, internet star George Clarke, and former Lioness Karen Carney as semi-finalists; the semi-final airs Saturday, December 13 with Kylie Minogue and boyband Five performing.
  • Fans and viewers labelled Lewis Cope's exit a major upset and called it 'robbed', while Motsi Mabuse, Strictly judge, and Shirley Ballas, Strictly judge, showed visible distress as Lewis, tipped to reach December 20, became the ninth star eliminated.
