BBC Strictly's Kaye Adams hits back at online troll following their bizarre rant over her Scottish heritage

Kaye Adams clapped back at an online troll following their bizarre rant over her elimination on Sunday night. The Loose Women presenter, 59, and professional partner Kai Widdrington, 27, were sent home in the first results show of the series.

Kaye and Kai were in the dreaded dance-off with singer Matt Goss, 54, and Nadiya Bychkova, 33. Kaye and Kai performed their Charleston to Music! Music! Music! again while Matt and Nadiya reprised their samba to Night Fever by the Bee Gees. Kaye's Strictly journey came to an end after judges Anton Du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse all voted to save Bros star Matt.

However Shirley Ballas said she would have decided to save Kaye and Kai. When asked if she agreed with the other judges, Shirley said: "I didn’t." Host Tess Daly asked: "You didn't?" And Shirley explained: "I thought due to a little better quality, I would have saved Kaye and Kai."
