BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans work out the reason for Matt Goss' exit after tears in the ballroom

There were tears in the ballroom on Sunday night as the latest Strictly Come Dancing elimination saw Matt Goss and Nadiya Bychkova leave the competition. The Bros star found himself in the dreaded dance-off during Sunday night's results show (October 16) alongside his professional dance partner.

After the third public vote of the 20th series of the BBC One dance contest, Matt found himself up against former soap star Kym Marsh and her professional dance partner Graziano Di Prima in the bottom two.

The 54-year-old re-performed his jive to All Shook Up by Paul McCartney after failing to impress the judging panel on Saturday evening (October 15) when he and Nadiya scored just 20 points. Meanwhile, Kym, 46, and Graziano impressed again with their second performance of their samba to Volare by Gipsy Kings.

After both couples had danced for a second time, the judges delivered their verdicts, with all four opting to save Kym and Graziano. Craig Revel Horwood commented: “I think both couples went up a major notch – I mean, Matt, you went fantastically mad in that, I loved it, and Kym, you were really great in that. But the couple I would like to save is Kym and Graziano.”

Meanwhile, head judge Shirley Ballas, who has previously disagreed with her fellow judges’ decisions, said: "I also felt that both couples were 100% committed, spot-on performances today. But the couple with a little bit more technical skill was Kym and Graziano and that’s who I’d save."
