Denise Welch slams Strictly 'wrong call' on Loose Women and sides with Shirley Ballas in vote row

Denise Welch has hit out at last weekend's Strictly Come Dancing result after her Loose Women colleague Kaye Adams went sent packing from the ballroom.

Kaye lived up to bookies' predictions that she'd be at risk of an early exit from the BBC show, when she and pro partner Kai Widdrington landed in the bottom two alongside Matt Goss and Nadiya Bychkova. After both couples reprised their routines from Saturday night's live show, it was Kaye and Kai who were given their marching orders, with the Strictly result sealed by Craig Revel-Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Bake all opting to save Matt and Nadiya.

The outcome was forgone conclusion by the time Strictly host Tess Daly asked Shirley Ballas for her verdict and the head judge said she disagreed with her co-stars, saying: "I thought due to a little bit better quality I would have saved Kaye and Kai."
