Thom Evans was eliminated from ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ tonight (26.10.14).
The former rugby player, 29, has become the latest celebrity to be given the boot from the BBC One show after he and his professional partner Iveta Lukosiute lost the dance-off against Simon Webbe.
The hunky star and his stunning partner performed their Cha-Cha-Cha to ‘It’s My Party’ by Jessie J but only managed to wow two judges, Craig Revel Horwood and Darcey Bussell, with the energetic routine as Bruno Tonioli and head judge Len Goodman preferred the Blue singer and Kristina Rihanoff’s Viennese Waltz to Queen’s ‘Somebody to Love.’
Speaking after the results were revealed, Thom said: "This experience exceeded all my expectations; it is one of the best experiences of my life. From the judges to the other contestants to the backroom staff, everyone does such a brilliant job and helps you feel confident going into every show.
"I also want to thank my partner Iveta. She has been immensely patient over these last couple of weeks and she couldn’t have worked harder. I want to thank her from the bottom of my heart."
‘Strictly Come Dancing’ will continue next Saturday at 6:30pm on BBC One.
