Ross King Is Second Exit From Strictly After Movie Week Dance-Off

Judges opted to keep Balvinder Sopal with Julian Caillon under the revamped voting rules.

Overview

  • Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke voted to save Balvinder Sopal and Julian Caillon, with Shirley Ballas saying she would have made the same choice.
  • Thirteen couples remain as Stefan Dennis received a rules-based bye after missing the live show through illness.
  • Lewis Cope and Katya Jones led Movie Week with 37 points, earning the series’ first 10.
  • This series uses online-only public voting and a rotating casting vote among judges, though the unanimous decision meant no tie-break was required.
  • Viewers complained about the revamped results-show format and music, with many also disputing judges’ scoring after Sopal fell into the bottom two.
