Strictly Come Dancing 2012 Results: Who left? Michael Vaughan or Nicky Byrne?

The Strictly Come Dancing contestants are getting ever closer to the final and to that glitterball trophy and tensions were running high in tonight’s week nine results show.

Last week Michael Vaughan found himself in the danceoff along with Victoria Pendleton and though all the judges voted to save him, bookies were predicting that he would be in danger tonight.

The panel wren’t very complimentary about his performance last night either, with Bruno Tonioli branding him the ‘one hip wonder’ and telling him he needs to learn to ‘swing both ways’ in a dance sense of course.

Strictly Come Dancing moved into it’s ninth week last night and there were some very clear front runners.
