Frustrated Strictly fans have blasted the judges for sending the 'wrong' celebrity home after one of the "most difficult" dance-offs the panel have had to choose between. After a glitzy episode where Strictly Come Dancing returned to Blackpool for the first time in three years, the eighth celebrity was sent home after a very tough dance-off.
The judges faced a difficult decision after both celebrities in the bottom two performed well in the dance-off, as Kiss FM DJ Tyler West and his professional partner Dianne Buswell faced singer and actress Molly Rainford and her partner Carlos Gu before he was voted to leave the show. Tyler said his time on Strictly has given him confidence and a “new-found family”.
Despite scoring an impressive 35 on Saturday night for his salsa to Megamix by KC and The Sunshine Band, Tyler found himself in the dance-off. After both celebrities excelled in their fight to remain, performing better than they had on Saturday night, the judges struggled to choose who to send home.
