Carol Kirkwood voted off Strictly Come Dancing


Carol Kirkwood has been voted off ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.

The BBC weather presenter’s American Smooth to Shania Twain’s ‘Man I Feel Like A Woman’ failed to impress in the dance off against fellow contestant Kellie Bright and her partner Kevin Clifton’s waltz.

Speaking after her exit, Carol said: "It has just been the most wonderful experience ever; I will never forget this for as long as I live.

"And it’s a huge thank you from everybody to the runners to make up to hair to the judges for all your encouragement. The contestants, the crew. And Pasha, he’s just wonderful – he’s got the patience of a saint. A gentleman and a gentle man so thank you."

In last night’s (07.11.15) show, judge Bruno Tonoili slammed Carol’s dance, telling her: "You’re consistent Carol; I love you because you’re consistent. You’re weatherproof, pretty-proof and dance-proof. You’re like Teflon nothing sticks, it just keeps sliding away."

Whilst fellow judge Darcey Bussell was much nicer, insisting Carol was making a "great improvement".

She told the television presenter: "Without fail I can see the confidence and intensity and the energy you’re putting into the dance. That is such a relief. You have to come out there and sell it and that’s what you did – there’s a great improvement there. A great improvement."
