Jamie Borthwick is the ninth celebrity to leave ‘Strictly Come Dancing' 2024.
Jamie and his partner Michelle Tsiakkas found themselves in the dance-off against Montell Douglas and Johannes Radebe during the results show. Both couples performed their routines again; Jamie and Michelle performed their Foxtrot to ‘Stand By Me' by Ben E. King. Then, Montell and Johannes performed their Quickstep to ‘Get Happy' by Ella Fitzgerald.
After both couples had danced a second time, the judges agreed to save Montell and Johannes, meaning that Jamie and Michelle were heading home.
When asked by Tess about his time on the show, Jamie said: “'Strictly' is magic. That is all I can say. ‘Strictly' is magic. Not just everyone who you see in front of the camera, these four here [the judges], but everyone who works on this show. I have such a good bond and relationship with and that's what made me want to do this show, it’s the people, not what I'm doing. I've had the best time. I could ramble on all day about this one [Michelle]. She's a new pro and she's absolutely been the most amazing teacher. We have laughed like you wouldn’t believe. I have nothing but the utmost respect for everyone on the show, so thank you.”
Michelle added: “I just want to say it goes without saying Jamie is an amazing dancer, and he's improved so much week by week. He's worked so hard to get to where he is. It's my first year with a partner and I've realised that it's so much more than just the dancing and the technique, it's the bonds and the friendships that you make. I waited two years for a partner and I wouldn't have had it any other way.”'
Sunday’s results show featured a performance from the Sugababes, who performed a medley of hits ‘Overload', ‘Freak Like Me' and ‘Push The Button', and the professional dancers put on a passionate and sultry performance to Zara Larson’s ‘With Every Heartbeat'.
‘Strictly Come Dancing' 2024 continues Saturday 30th November 2024 at 7.05pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
