Strictly Come Dancing's James Bye 'predicted' his own exit with telling on-camera remark

James Bye was voted off Strictly Come Dancing this weekend, with the EastEnders actor 'predicting' his own exit and suggesting his days on the show could be numbered, with a comment he made on Saturday's live show.

For a number of weeks, James, known to millions of soap fans as Albert Square's own Martin Fowler, has defied bookies' odds, by staying clear of the Strictly dance-off, despite him being favourite to go. He aimed to do exactly the same again in Halloween Week, when he and pro partner Amy Dowden performed a Charleston, with James dressed as a beekeeper and Amy as a bee.

The couple finished bottom of the leaderboard on 27 out of 40 and, after the public had a chance to vote, that wasn't enough to keep them out of the dreaded dance-off. They landed in the danger zone alongside Fleur East and Vito Coppola, with Fleur in the bottom two for the second time this series.
