Strictly Come Dancing has lost John Barnes tonight, and I don’t imagine that anyone is very shocked. If it were a fair world, John would have lasted longer than Kenny Logan, but this man seems to have the whole of Scotland behind him!
John found himself tonight in the bottom two couples along with Brendan Cole and Kelly Brooks, and against such accomplished dancers he didn’t have much of a chance. The judges voted unanimously to keep Kelly, but it was nice to see Brendan being taken down a peg or two by the judges and the public!
