Overview

• Amy Dowden and Thomas Skinner became the first couple eliminated this series after losing the dance-off to Chris Robshaw and Nadiya Bychkova.
• Judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke and Craig Revel Horwood unanimously saved Robshaw and Bychkova, favouring their Viennese waltz over Dowden and Skinner’s salsa.
• Dowden told followers she was "home home" and thanked them for "all the love and support," expressing gratitude and pride in her return.
• Her appearance marked a comeback following breast cancer treatment in 2023 and a subsequent leg injury that kept her out last year.
• Skinner said he was "absolutely gutted" to leave, praised Dowden as "inspirational," and said he will continue taking dance lessons.
