Sam Quek MBE became the sixth celebrity to leave ‘Strictly Come Dancing' 2024 during tonight's Results Show.
Sam and her partner Nikita Kuzmin found themselves in the bottom two against Montell Douglas and Johannes Radebe. Both couples performed their routines again; Sam and Nikita performed their American Smooth to ‘Love Story' by Taylor Swift. Then, Montell and Johannes performed their Waltz to ‘I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston.
All of the judges voted to save Montell and Johannes, meaning that Sam and Nikita were going home.
When asked by Tess about her time on the show, Sam said: “I’m gutted, I just want to say thank you. I’ve learned so much. ‘Strictly' has just brought that spring in my step back. It’s just been an absolute joy. Nikita, you’ve been key in helping me find that inner Sam that was there, who went a little bit quiet for maybe one or two years and has just come back. I’m gutted because I do feel like I still have more to give.”
Nikita said: “I’m just in awe of this girl. Sometimes they say it’s about the journey, not the destination, but to me it’s about the company. Sam you are the most wonderful company I could have had.”
Sam added: “I’m guilty of watching the competition and thinking ‘how do they have that relationship as a celebrity and a dancer?’ All I can say is, the time you spend with each other and what you bring out in each other. It really is, and it sounds dead cheesy, magical.”
Sunday’s results show featured a performance from K-Pop’s newest boyband dearALICE, plus a dazzling Beyoncé medley, with Johannes Radebe channelling his inner Sasha Fierce as the protagonist in the routine.
‘Strictly Come Dancing' 2024 continues Saturday 9th November at 6.35pm with the Remembrance Sunday results show on Sunday 10th November at 7.20pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
