Olympian Tom Dean MBE is the first celebrity to leave ‘Strictly Come Dancing' 2024.
Tonight's results show saw Tom and his partner Nadiya Bychkova in the dance-off opposite Toyah Willcox and her partner Neil Jones. Both couples performed their routines again; Tom and Nadiya performed their Cha Cha to ‘Boogie Wonderland' by Earth, Wind & Fire then Toyah and Neil performed their Jive to ‘Nutbush City Limits' by Ike & Tina Turner.
Following the dance-off the judges cast their votes with Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas all choosing to save Toyah and Neil. Only Anton Du Beke chose to save Tom and Nadiya.
When asked by Tess about his time on the show, Tom said: “I’ve had the best time the last few weeks and getting to work with Nadiya has been incredible. I wish I could have gone further and done more dances.”
“I’ve had the most fun and I wish we could keep going longer and longer. We’ll still go out for loads of brunches I’m sure.”
Tom’s professional dance partner Nadiya added: “To get to know him, he’s not just a three-time Olympic champion he’s a true gentleman and he taught me how to work really hard and how to put everything in. And you know what? On this programme, sometimes to win, you don’t need to win, and that’s how I feel this year.”
Tonight's results show featured a routine from the judges and the professional dancers to Prince's ‘When Doves Cry'. There was also a performance of ‘God Gave Me Feet for Dancing' from Ezra Collective featuring Yazmin Lacey.
‘Strictly Come Dancing' 2024 continues on Saturday 5th October 2024 at 6.25pm with the results show on Sunday 6th October at 7.15pm on BBC One.
