Len, Floella and Mary

Precisely 24 minutes left to vote.

Here are my votes:

Len, Linda, Henry

I'm voting for the first time this series because I feel like Davood would be quite a good dancer in real life and lots of people seem to be voting for him to go home so I'm making a last minute vote in order to try and make sure he stays in the competition.

Lines Are Now Closed, Do Not Vote Now, Your Votes Won't Count.

Now for the results.

The couples that received only 1 vote and therefore through to next week are:-




Congratulations to you lot.

Three people got two votes and are safely through to next week and they are...

Congratulations to you lot too.

The next couples through with 4 votes are...

There are only 2 couples left.





One of you received 7 votes and is safe, and 1 couple received 10 votes and is eliminated.


I can now reveal the couple eliminated are:-





Over to Queenie now to reveal who the mystery person behind the eliminated couple was and for her (please ) to update the eliminated and averages list.

I can reveal I'm doubly unhappy as Len was my second and final suggestion just my luck to get a toddler and a septuagenarian as my choices (I thought The Church of Scientology and various vegetables would have garnered many more votes!) but now I'm fully behind Kylie who I only didn't nominate because I was channelling my inner Mitch when suggesting x

Big thanks to East for hosting the round and to Izzie for keeping the dance chart up to date! Week 6 belongs to Nick, take it away when you're ready!

But yeah the leader board doesn't mean much so make sure to vote as every vote counts! I'll close lines tomorrow at 9PM! #StrongerTogether #FuckTrump #ListenToCher

Henry, Harry and Mary. #ListenToCher indeed.

(you can probably tell which one contestant in particular was a (last-minute) choice of mine, judging by my bordering-on-Bruno-with-Laura-Whitmore levels of sticking by them despite all evidence suggesting otherwise)

I consider this Davood's breakthrough week, in that it's the first time in recent memory that I haven't voted for him. If it had been the Janet Jackson version of Nasty he'd danced to, it may have even been a 10. Maybe.

Henry, Kylie, Harry.
