Lawrence Robb and his professional partner Jowita Przystał have been eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing 2026.
For the first time in the BBC show’s history, the Halloween Week results show saw three couples land in the dreaded dance-off.
Joining the Emmerdale actor in the bottom three were Bethany Antonia and Jaime Winstone, who also had to perform again with their partners Nancy Xu and Carlos Gu.
Sadly for Lawrence and Jowita, they were unable to save themselves with their Tango to Ghostbusters by Ray Parker Jr and all four judges opted to send them home.
The pair finished in ninth place on the judges’ leaderboard during Saturday’s show, with a total score of 26 points.
They received some positive feedback from the judges, with Craig Revel Horwood calling their routine “sharp, staccato and very entertaining”, and Shirley Ballas saying he was “improving” and “shining”.
However, he faced an uphill battle in the dance-off as Bethany and Jaime had both finished ahead of him on the leaderboard.
It was better news, however, for Tabby Stoecker and Graeme Hall, who were in joint last place before viewer votes were added.
Tabby’s score in particular was criticised by fans online, after the Olympian went from top of the table last week to bottom this week.
Finishing in first place on Saturday night were EastEnders star Lacey Turner and Vito Coppola, whose Charleston to Crazy Stupid Love by Cheryl and Tinie Tempah earned them nines across the board.
Sunday night’s results show featured music from Becky Hill, as well as a special professionals routine to Dracula by Tame Impala, which included a vocal cameo from Sir Ian McKellen.
Strictly Come Dancing returns at 6:30pm on Saturday 7 November on BBC One and iPlayer.
