Kate Garraway dances out of Strictly Come Dancing
|
Kate Garraway was the seventh person to be voted off
Â鶹Éç One's Strictly Come
Dancing tonight after failing to impress the judges
in the dance off.
Ìý
All the couples danced different numbers tonight, but once again one of
those couples had to leave.
Ìý
But it was Kate and footballing legend John Barnes who found
themselves in the bottom two competing in the dance-off.
Ìý
This was
Kate's first dance off – despite coming bottom with the judges five times –
and John's third time in the rematch.
Ìý
Of Kate's first performance, the Paso Doble, the judges said:
Ìý
Arlene Phillips: "Less like a cape, more like a shag carpet. Plonky plonky."
Score: 5.
Ìý
Bruno Tonioli: "Tutankhamun in a frock would have done a better job. The
footwork was mummified."
Score: 5.
Ìý
Len Goodman: "Like the Perils of Pauline every week a disaster but she always
comes back. I liked the steps but it lacked a bit of fire and drama."
Score: 7.
Ìý
Craig Revel Horwood: "Kate, you did the best you could do but it lacked any attack."
Score: 4.
Ìý
Kate and Anton Du Beke scored a total of 21/40 making them bottom of the judges' leader
board.
Ìý
But the judges came to a unanimous decision on the dance off. They said:
Ìý
Craig: "I have a responsibility to choose the best dancer so I save John
and Nicole."
Ìý
Arlene: "I think tonight it has to be John and Nicole."
Ìý
Bruno: "I think both of you upped the ante but the better dance was John
and Nicole."
Ìý
Len: "I agree with Bruno and would have saved John and Nicole."
Ìý
The competition continues next week.
