The eighth contestant has left Strictly Come Dancing 2022 after a competitive weekend in Blackpool. Following Saturday’s live show, which saw the BBC competition return to the town’s prestigious Tower Ballroom for the first time since 2019 after a break due to the pandemic, Kiss FM DJ Tyler West found himself in the dreaded dance-off against Molly Rainford.
During the results show tonight (Sunday, November 20), West reprised his salsa to Megamix by KC and The Sunshine Band alongside his partner Dianne Buswell in a bid to impress the judges. For his original routine on Saturday, he secured a score of 35 after grooving and performing challenging lifts while donning an afro wig and flared trousers.
Meanwhile, singer and actress Rainford and her partner Carlos Gu again performed their jive to Bandstand Boogie by Barry Manilow, which had also achieved 35 points previously and Anton Du Beke had described it as “tremendous”. After both couples had danced for a second time, three out of the four judges chose to save Rainford, sending West packing.
