Hayley Newton and Mark Calape have become the third pair to be voted off BBC’s So You Think You Can Dance.

Hayley and Mark found themselves in the bottom four alongside Mandy Montanez Tommy Franzen and after all four had performed their solo routines, the judges had to choose one male and one female to save.

Of the girl’s final dance, Nigel said:

“The judges are unanimous – unanimous in believing it’s getting tougher every week too. I can say there’s very little difference between the two of you but we have to make a decision so we’ve done that”

“Mandy you’re a mature dancer. We think you’ve got great strength. We think you understand the demands of this show and we think for us you won’t always meet the demands of this show”.

“Hayley we thought you were absolutely fantastic last week with your routine and just shone. And this week we don’t quite understand why you’re here in the bottom two. But in this show you have to highlight your strengths and not expose your weaknesses and I guess you’ve exposed some of your weaknesses this week. I have known your family for many years. It was in 1968 that your Dad left The Young Generation leaving an opening in that group for me. Without that I probably wouldn’t be here now. Because of that history it’s even more difficult for me to say, Hayley, you’re leaving the show”

Of the boy’s final dance, Nigel said:

“Again the judges are unanimous with the decision. We’re all terribly upset that our two hip hop dancers are here. The great thing about this show is that we can take kids from the street, they don’t have to be formally trained and we can put them through their paces. It’s amazing what you can learn and do and certainly both of you have been extremely exciting in what you’ve done so far. Unfortunately the public have made the decision and one of you is going home tonight”

“Tommy you have a great warmth about you and somehow that gets you through routines as well. We just warm to you. It’s difficult though that you have to pick up steps you’re not accustomed to doing but we think you’re doing it well. Mark, the same with you: we don’t feel as thought you’ve grown as much as Tommy, and we are going to be sending Amico his daddy home this evening”.

After hearing that he would be leaving, Mark said “I hope I’ve inspired people,” he said. “You can come from the streets and make it on the stage.”
