BBC Strictly fans amazed by Shirley's 'strange' decision as first celeb sent home

The second live show of Strictly Come Dancing 2022 led to decision time as the first celeb departed the dancefloor on Sunday night (October 2). Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman hosted as 15 stars and their pro dance partners dazzled judges Motsi Mabuse, Craig Revel Horwood, Anton Du Beke and head judge Shirley Ballas as well as the audience at home.

The judges’ scores this week were added to those from the launch week, and were then combined with the results of the viewers’ votes to decide the lowest scoring two couples facing the dance off. Last Saturday’s first live show of the series saw all the couples take to the dance floor for the first time with no public vote.

This weekend, Loose Women anchor Kaye Adams became the first contestant to leave the BBC dance contest as she faced singer Matt Goss in the dreaded dance off. Both couples performed their routines again; Kaye and her dance partner Kai Widdrington performed their charleston to Music! Music! Music! by Dorothy Provine.
