Who left Strictly 2026 tonight? See the 5th celebrity eliminated from BBC show
On Sunday, Emmerdale actor Lawrence Robb and professional partner Jowita Przystal became the fifth couple to leave Strictly Come Dancing after the show's first-ever three-couple dance-off.
The Halloween special introduced a three-way dance-off for the first time, requiring the three lowest-scoring couples to perform again instead of the traditional two-couple format.
Robb and Przystal scored 26 points for their Ghostbusters tango, placing them third bottom on the leaderboard. Judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, and Craig Revel Horwood unanimously voted to eliminate them.
Judges saved actress Bethany Antonia and Nancy Xu, and actress Jaime Winstone and Carlos Gu. Robb said, "This has been the most intense, incredible, loving, caring family to be part of."
The three-way dance-off was a one-time-only event. Strictly returns to a standard two-couple format on Saturday, November 7 at 6:30pm on BBC One.
