Jason Donovan has been eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing.
The Australian star made it all the way to tonight’s final show in Blackpool, but after an amazing showdance and a tango, he received the lowest amount of public votes and was voted off in third place.
It looks like the bookies were spot on with their predictions about the competitive family man!
On hearing the news, Donovan told Bruce Forsyth:

It’s time for the final dancing showdown, my friends. Strictly Come Dancing‘s final three will go head to head tonight: Harry Judd, Chelsee Healy and Jason Donovan will take to the floor and dance
Our elimination prediction: Earlier today on Twitter, I published my prediction for the elimination order. My gut feeling is that it’s going to be a win for Harry Judd tonight. Jason Donovan will be eliminated first, and Chelsee Healey will be a very deserving runner-up. I think much of this will be down to the McFly fanbase, but if Chelsee Healey continues with the same level of improvement as recently, she may well outperform Harry. However, since the public vote is everything in tonight’s show, Harry Judd could spin around the floor on his butt and still win.

So the Strictly Come Dancing final starts in less than an hour and want to know who you are backing to win.
The bookies think Harry Judd can do it, however unbelievable as it might seem, in terms of his dancing he hasn’t been the clear cut winner throughout the series. Chelsee Healy and Jason Donovan have both topped the leaderboard 4 times, while Harry has only done it 3 times.
In terms of accumulative scores though he has triumphed as Harry & Aliona have racked up 421 points, followed by Chelsee & Pasha with 417 points and Jason & Kristina on 413.

The stars are tuning into Strictly but it doesn’t seem that they can agree on who is set to win this weekend.
Jason Donovan, Harry Judd and Chelsee Healy will go head to head in the Blackpool Ballroom tomorrow night and Jo Joyner admitted that she is backing the former Neighbours star.

Jason Donovan is so desperate to win Strictly Come Dancing this weekend, that he won’t allow his partner Kristina Rihanoff to take a day off, it has been claimed.
Tess Daly told The Sun that the Australian star is among the most competitive she has ever seen and is so keen to perform well when he competes against Jason Donovan and Chelee Healy in Blackpool, that he is ever rehearsing on a Sunday, the dancers’ usual day of rest.

Jason Donovan looks to have paid the price for taking Strictly Come Dancing too seriously and bookies have now lengthened his odds of winning on Sunday to 16/1, having been as short as 5/2 earlier in the series.
“Despite being in the final three and getting a perfect score, Jason has never been a longer price to win.

He’s pretty much contractually obliged to hate Strictly, but it turns out that X Factor judge Gary Barlow can’t get enough of his rival show – according to his best mate Jason Donovan.
Speaking exclusively to heat magazine , Jason told us, “Gary is a huge fan of Strictly Come Dancing. Secretly, I know he fancies himself wearing full-on sequins, with a shaved chest and open shirt. It’s just a shame he’s busy with The X Factor.”

It’s the bonfire night edition of Strictly Come Dancing, but tonight’s show highlighted the difference between the real firecrackers and the damp squibs. Not even Russell Grant’s usual camp comedy routine could scare up the votes from the judges – he ended up coming bottom of tonight’s leaderboard!
In other news – Len Goodman was missing in action tonight, so he was replaced by Dirty Dancing star (and Dancing With The Stars contestant) Jennifer Grey. Jennifer was a great replacement for Len, but she seemed to get her scores stuck on 8 for most of the night. And…she made us all cringe when she said to Chelsee Healy “nobody puts Baby in a corner”. Oh dear. Read more & comment »

Not only have Strictly Come Dancing ratings been going through the roof this year but bookies report that more people than ever are placing bets on the outcome of the 2011 series.
William Hill have reported that punters seem convinced either Harry Judd or Jason Donovan will taking the glitterball trophy next month and have slashed the odds on both men winning the competition.
The bookmakers currently have Harry at 7/4 to win and Jason at 15/8.

It could be argued that any episode of Strictly Come Dancing which stars Bruce Forsythe and Tess Daly is Fright Night. Which would be all of them basically! Hell, even the judges are in on the act tonight with a touch of finger snapping for the Adamms Family inspired intro routine. I’m just a little bit disappointed that they missed the opportunity to drape Doddery Bruce in cobwebs!
Anyway, welcome to another Strictly Liveblog! Tonight’s episode was punctuated by Brucie telling a joke that was actually funny. And it had a little poke at ITV at the same time! Strictly’s getting confident! And Craig Revell Horwood swooping in on a broomstick? Classic!
