Melanie Walters Bids Farewell to Strictly Come Dancing
The Gavin and Stacey actress and Aljaz Skorjanec lost the dance-off after judges split 3-1 to save Shaun Wright-Phillips and Alexis Warr.
- On Sunday, Gavin and Stacey actress Melanie Walters became the second celebrity eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing after a dance-off against former footballer Shaun Wright-Phillips.
- Following the public vote, both couples landed in the dance-off after low scores on Saturday's episode, with Walters scoring 17 for her Charleston and Wright-Phillips receiving 15 for his quickstep.
- While judge Motsi Mabuse voted to save Walters, fellow judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, and Craig Revel Horwood chose to keep Wright-Phillips and his partner Alexis Warr in the competition.
- Critiquing the dance, Revel Horwood remarked that he "didn't love" their performance, while Mabuse encouraged the actress to "keep going," and Du Beke praised Wright-Phillips for having "all the components to be a super, super dancer."
- The elimination follows the departure of celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton last week, as the remaining 13 couples prepare for Icons Week on BBC One on Saturday, October 17.
