Ross King Leaves Strictly After Movie Week Dance-Off as Judges Save Balvinder Sopal

The result came after Movie Week put Lewis Cope and Katya Jones on top with the series’ first 10.

Overview

  • Ross King and partner Jowita Przystal exited after the judges unanimously chose to keep Balvinder Sopal and Julian Caillon following the dance-off.
  • Head judge Shirley Ballas held the casting-vote role under the series’ rotating rule but said she would also have saved Balvinder, making the panel’s view unanimous.
  • King and Przystal’s Paso Doble to the Thunderbirds theme scored 19, placing them at the bottom of the leaderboard before the dance-off.
  • Lewis Cope and Katya Jones led Movie Week with 37, including the series’ first 10 from Motsi Mabuse.
  • Neighbours actor Stefan Dennis missed the live show through illness and received a bye, as a pre-recorded results leak and criticism of the revamped results-show format drew reactions from viewers.
