The fourteen couples each danced either a Salsa or a Foxtrot routine in a bid to impress the viewers and judges Len Goodman, Alesha Dixon, Bruno Tonioli & Craig Revel Horwood.<\/p>\n
The judges\u2019 scores were combined with their scores from last week, and then these overall scores were amalgamated with the results of the viewers\u2019 votes. Once the viewers votes were taken into consideration, the two couples in the bottom two were: Audley Harrison & Natalie Lowe, and Edwina Currie & Vincent Simone.<\/p>\n
It was then announced that Edwina & Vincent would become the first couple to leave the show.<\/p>\n
Edwina & Vincent scored a total of 36 points on the judges\u2019 leader board, 17 from their dance last week and 19 from their dance this week. They had danced a Foxtrot with the setting of a romantic Italian caf\u00e9, in Saturday\u2019s show.<\/p>\n
JUDGES COMMENTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n Len (awarded 5 points):<\/strong> \u201cWell, Edwina \u2013 don\u2019t worry, I realise that\u2019s the first time you\u2019ve ever danced the Foxtrot. I can assure you of that. Honestly, make the most of that meal as that could be the last supper! I can only say what I see. Too much messing about on the table over there \u2013 pointing your foot. I wanted more content of the Foxtrot, and unfortunately I didn\u2019t get it.\u201d<\/p>\n Alesha (awarded 5 points):<\/strong> \u201cGetting into character is brilliant Edwina \u2013 that\u2019s exactly what I want to see from you. Len is right, it was a bit too long getting into the dance, but when you were actually dancing it looked really nice. So you should be proud, but yes \u2013 next time it would be great to see you dancing for a little bit longer.\u201d<\/p>\n Bruno (who awarded 5 points ): <\/strong>\u201cNaughty Edwina spending all the time playing footsie under the table! You forgot about the Foxtrot! That\u2019s what happened. The Foxtrot has to have a smooth flow, and the little of what there was was a little like watching a bendy bus negotiating a tight roundabout. You could never quite get into it. It\u2019s true \u2013 you have to put a little more dancing into a dance show!\u201d<\/p>\n Craig ( who awarded 5 points): <\/strong>\u201cWell when you finally got into the foxtrot proper, you were very hunch-of-shoulder I\u2019m afraid. Your balance was occasionally questionable, when you do a d\u00e9velopp\u00e9- if you\u2019re brave enough to put that leg in the air darling \u2013 make sure you are pointing the foot, at least. And for me, absolutely not enough fox.\u201d<\/p>\n On hearing the news Edwina said: \u201cWell I feel sorry for Vincent, because he has worked very hard. He\u2019s been a terrific teacher, he really, really has. Anything that we did wrong is entirely my fault. But whoever dances with Vincent is a very, very lucky woman. It has been fabulous \u2013 absolutely fabulous. I mean we have had several weeks of it because we started off with the launch programme as well. During which I think I\u2019ve lost about half a stone and a dress size!\u201d
