Strictly Come Dancing result sees Richie Anderson leave as Shirley Ballas disagrees again

Strictly Come Dancing viewers were left shocked and upset as Richie Anderson and Fleur East landed in the bottom two this week, with Richie eventually getting the boot. But, just like last week, Shirley Ballas voted the opposite way to her fellow judges, saying she would have saved the Radio 2 star.

Strictly went to the Movies on Saturday night for a live show that featured performances inspired by everything from Jurassic Park to Dirty Dancing and Grease to The Full Monty. At the end of the night, it was radio host Tyler West at the top of the standings, after getting the first 10s of the series. At the other end of the leaderboard, Tony Adams was bottom with a score of just 21 out of 40.

Who lands in the dreaded dance off each week is based on a combination of the judges' scores and viewer votes and unfortunately for them, finishing middle of the pack after the marks were awarded wasn't enough to keep Richie and pro partner Giovanni Pernice and Fleur and her professional Vito Coppola out of danger. Fleur and Vito were the first couple to be told they'd have to dance again, with judge Craig Revel-Horwood telling the former X Factor finalist he was shocked by the result.
