The Strictly semi-final results are in and Annabel Croft has become the latest star to be given the boot from the competition.
It was a particularly tough blow given that she’s narrowly missed out on a place in the final.
Viewers took to Twitter as host Tess Daly announced the result, after Annabel and pro partner Johannes Radebe faced Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell in the dance-off.
Strictly results: Sad goodbye to Annabel
Both couples performed their favourite routine of the night again. Bobby and his dance partner Dianne performed their quickstep to Mack the Knife by Bobby Darin. Then, Annabel and her dance partner Johannes performed their Viennese Waltz to Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want by Slow Moving Millie, each fighting for their place in next weekend’s final.
After both couples had danced a second time, the judges delivered their verdicts.
Craig Revel Horwood chose to save Annabel and Johannes. “Well, one dance was flashy, one dance was quiet. I think both couples have equalised completely. I saw improvement in this one couple and based on this dance and nothing in the past but this dance alone, the person which I think had the most exquisite technique is Annabel and Johannes.”
Motsi Mabuse chose to save Bobby and Dianne. “Well, first of all I have to say this was a really tough one tonight, I think both couples danced really well, and after the dance off I stood there for a few seconds making my decision, there was one dance where there was a slight hesitation at a turn, one slight hesitation was the decision, and I will be saving Bobby and Dianne.”
Anton Du Beke chose to save Bobby and Dianne. “”
