Strictly Come Dancing Live: Star's exit 'sealed' after devastating blow hours before show

Strictly Come Dancing is back for its third live show of the series but the BBC show has already been thrown into chaos. Neighbours legend Stefan Dennis has been advised to rest by doctors and will not be performing his planned Waltz to It Is You (I Have Loved) from Shrek. He and partner Dianne Buswell will automatically make it through to the next stage of the competition. However, tonight's show will mark bad news for one contestant as the usual vote will go ahead on Sunday's results show.

Last week, businessman and former Apprentice candidate Thomas Skinner became the first star to be eliminated from the 2025 series alongside his professional partner Amy Dowden. Skinner said he was gutted to be the first out, but admitted his dancing skills left much to be desired.
