Results: Russell and Flavia are out and Holly also in danger

Russell and Flavia out strictly come dancing

Russell Grant’s time on Strictly Come Dancing has come to an end as he was voted out last night at Wembley Arena. Many Strictly fans will breathe a sigh of relief as they felt it was his time to go.

Now I was going to say that it was a shock to see Holly and Artem in the bottom two but I don’t think that it was. She’s so laid back she is almost horizontal and we like someone who puts in some really hard graft on this show; or at least someone who shows it!

But it was Russell and Flavia who got the boot. Reflecting back on the results of tonight’s show Russell said, “Every show I’ve done has been a highlight, it’s been fantastic. The public have been great, the audiences have been great. I’ve learnt from the judges, I’ve listened to the judges… but most of all I’ve had the most fantastic partner in Flavia Cacace.”

And his professional partner Flavia added “I completely agree with everyone out there who absolutely loves you because you are a true inspiration. It has been an absolute pleasure and joy partnering you.”

There were lots of performances to enjoy on the show too; Jesse J and James Morrison performed (lucky audience!) as well as some great numbers from the professionals and the celebs.

Hilariously Jason, Robbie, Harry and Russell dressed up as The Beatles. What a good look!

I think the competition is on now and the celebs need to pull out some really show-stopping dances for week 9.

Here is a video of Kara and Artem at week 8 dancing the American Smooth – AM A ZING!

    It is about time Russel Grant left the show – he really was very weak in the dance routines but a great showman!

    Russel Grant is a national treasure and I hope the BBC will find a place to showcase his talent and incredible warmth, it was his time to leave strictly but it would be a shame to lose this consumate showman.

    I really enjoyed the judges getting a bit more involved

    Holly always looks beautiful.  Why all the bitchy comments about her dress?  It was a 50s style dress to go with the dance.  I was sorry to see her in the bottom two.  I wonder whether Artem was really ready to be back though…

    Does anyone know where Tess Dalys dress is from?
