Comedian makes it through another week

Seann Walsh has lived to quickstep another day after surviving Strictly’s dreaded dance-off.

After finishing joint second from bottom on last night’s scoreboard, the couple didn't get enough votes from viewers to avoid the showdown.

Judges thought his second attempt at the quickstep to Lightning Bolt by Jake Bugg was an improvement on yesterday’s efforts.

So instead DJ Vick Hope – at one time the bookies’ favourite to lift the glitter-ball – and her dance partner Graziano Di Prima were sent home. 

Only Craig Revel Horwood voted to save the Capital radio presenter, with the other judges rallying around Seann and his partner Katya Jones.

How much their low viewer vote was down to a sub-par dance on Saturday, and how much was down to the relentless tabloid coverage of the illicit kiss Walsh and Jones shared two weeks ago, we’ll never know… 

Here’s their dance from yesterday’s show:
