Toyah Willcox became the second celebrity to leave ‘Strictly Come Dancing' 2024 during tonight's results show.
Toyah and her partner Neil Jones found themselves in the dance off for a second consecutive week, and this week they were joined by Paul Merson and his partner Karen Hauer. Both couples performed their routines again; Toyah and Neil performed their Samba to ‘Poor Unfortunate Souls' from ‘Little Mermaid'. Then, Paul and his dance partner Karen performed their Cha Cha to ‘The Magnificent Seven' from ‘The Magnificent Seven'.
After both couples had danced a second time, the judges delivered their verdicts, and all four judges chose to save Paul and Karen. That meant that Toyah's time on the dancefloor had come to an end.
When asked by Tess about their time on the show, Toyah said: “It's been the best two months of my life, it has been fantastic. I have enjoyed every second. And you (Neil) have been phenomenal, thank you so much.”
Neil said: “She has made me laugh so much, I have never seen someone work so hard – I'm the one asking for breaks every now and then! She just kept going, she wanted to learn so much. If you saw her in the hallway she’s been practicing. Everyone’s been telling me have you seen Toyah practicing, she’s brilliant and she’s what Strictly is all about, and I’ve loved every moment”
When asked by Tess about her partner Neil, Toyah said: “It was immediate, it had to be Neil. I felt so comfortable and safe. You're a great teacher, you're a great friend as well. You've just given me a new zest for life, that's the most valuable thing I've come away with.”
Sunday’s Results Show also featured a rom-com inspired routine from our fabulous professional dancers, choreographed by Mandy Moore and starring Neil Jones as the leading man. Plus a show stopping musical performance of ‘The Heart Asks Pleasure First' from Alexis Ffrench.
‘Strictly Come Dancing' 2024 continues at 6.20pm on Saturday 12th October with the results show at 7.20pm on Sunday 13th October.
