Strictly Come Dancing axed its fourth celebrity after a tense dance-off tonight. JB Gill and Amy Dowden danced again alongside Paul Merson and Karen Hauer in the dance-off in a decision that shocked viewers.

Paul Merson's exit from Strictly Come Dancing proved to be much more controversial than expected as he lost out to JB Gill

Paul Merson has said he's already 'won' as he became the fourth celebrity to leave Strictly Come Dancing 2024. The former footballer and his dance partner Karen Hauer were delivered the news during Sunday night's results show (October 10).

Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC One tonight following a week of controversy surrounding two of its stars. Katya Jones and Wynne Evans were forced to explain themselves after raising concerns with their on-air antics.

Strictly Come Dancing fans were all wondering the same thing as they noticed one star wasn't being shown much.

And that’s it from week five of Strictly! Coming up, it’s Halloween Week and, as ever, I cross my fingers and hope that someone will be dressed as Tim Curry from the gloriously camp 1980s film musical of The Worst Witch starring Fairuza Balk from The Craft as Mildred Hubble.
