Craig Kelly “can’t believe” he’s left the show

Corrie actor Craig Kelly last night became the latest celebrity to be booted off Strictly Come Dancing. And he wasn’t a happy bunny about it…
Speaking of his 17 point score last night, Craig told the PA, “That’s disgraceful, I can’t believe that.”
He added that he thought the judges had been far too harsh on his Cha Cha.
However, as he left the show, Craig said, “I feel amazing really. It’s great that I made it to Blackpool.”
Meanwhile, ex-Eastender Ricky Groves was saved by the judges vote and apparently all the judges are “backing him to stay”.
Ali Bastian sailed through with a perfect score of 40 for her Viennese waltz, and second on the leader board was another Hollyoaks actor, Ricky Whittle who scored 35 points for his Tango.
Last night’s show was broadcast from the famous Tower Ballroom where the dance floor is around twice the size of that which the dancers are used to, however, despite Bruce Forsyth commenting that the floor felt “like a trampoline”, it clearly suited some of the contestants.
And an appearance by Jill Halfpenny went down a storm and showed she’s lost none of her dancing panache since 2004 when she won the show.
