💃🕺It was a Strictly Movie Week full of incident.

But you can never predict what will be a box office hit. Might the public make their own choices instead of following the judges’ verdict?

🗳️With inconsistent scoring across the show and plenty of arguments among the panel. Will they be in agreement when it comes to the dance-off? #Strictly

🚪In a twist worthy of M Night Shyamalan, Richie Anderson became the second celebrity to leave the Strictly ballroom after landing in the dance-off with accomplished mover Fleur East. #Strictly

🗣️“I think it’s heart-breaking actually because I think both of you do not deserve to be here, but this is how the public voted.”

The whole cast was clearly in shock. #Strictly

🕺 In a classy exit speech, Anderson seemed to channel the spirit of his Movie Week song, Hakuna Matata.

He said that as a long-time Strictly fan, it was magical to be part of the show, praising the backstage team and his partner Pernice

🐗🦁“It’s a shame it’s been too short for us, but I hope you’ve enjoyed every single second of it. Look at us: we’ve gone out dressed as Timon and Pumbaa. So lovely jubbly, well done Richie.”

🗳️The panel was quick to place all of the blame for this decision on the public vote.

But it’s worth noting that the judging on Saturday night was very erratic Photo credit: Guy Levy/BBC/...
💃 It’s unusual to have a shock exit this early in the series.

What does this mean for Strictly series 20?
