First Contestant Eliminated From Strictly Come Dancing 2025 - Liverpool Echo

Thomas Skinner and Amy Dowden were eliminated after a dance-off, receiving just 13 points in Week Two, marking the first exit of Strictly Come Dancing 2025.

  • On October 5, Thomas Skinner and Amy Dowden were the first couple voted off Strictly Come Dancing 2025 after losing Sunday’s dance-off to Chris Robshaw and Nadiya Bychkova.
  • Combined judges' scores and the public vote produced the two lowest couples after Skinner earned just 13 for his Week Two Salsa to 'Bonkers' by Dizzee Rascal and Armand Van Helden.
  • Judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke and Craig Revel Horwood voted to save Robshaw and Bychkova, with Horwood harshly critiquing Skinner's salsa as a "weightlifting competition in Skegness" on Saturday.
  • Skinner and Dowden will appear on Strictly: It Takes Two on Monday, October 6 at 6.30pm on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer, and the remaining 14 couples return next week for Movie Week on October 11.
  • Online viewers described Skinner's Saturday Salsa as traumatising and supported the judges' decision, amid controversies including snatching a journalist's phone and an alleged £50,000 taxpayer loan.
