Strictly Come Dancing’s Anastacia and Brendan become sixth couple to be booted out of the competition
The pair were sent home after facing off against Daisy and Alijaz in the Halloween Dance Off
STRICTLY Come Dancing's Anastacia and Brendan have become the latest couple to be booted out of the competition.
The pair went up against model Daisy Lowe and Aljaž Škorjanec, who were also in the Dance Off last week.
Both couples were the lowest scoring after the judges’ scores and viewers votes were combined.
Anastacia and Brendan performed their jive again to 'Bat out of Hell', which certainly hadn't impressed Craig Revel Horwood the first time round, who scored it a dismal 4.
The judge had called it "flat footed and laboured" while Len had compared it to an actual "meatloaf".
They managed an average score of 25, which saw them at the bottom of the leaderboard.
Daisy and Aljaž performed their passionate paso doble to 'Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood', which the judges had praised highly the first time around.
Bruno Tonioli had complimented it by saying that it had the "flavour of Spain" and the pair had scored an impressive 33 after an 8 and three 9s.
After the couples had danced, all the judges chose to save Daisy and Aljaž, meaning that Anastacia and Brendan would be the latest pair to be sent home.
When asked by Tess what her personal highlight from the show had been, Anastacia said: “I’ve really enjoyed being here. This was a place for me to get to know my ‘female’ and this place allowed me to do that; the hair, the make-up, the production, the judges gave me great comments."
She turned to Tess, adding: "You and Claudia have been amazing, the way you run this family, this family is beautiful and you," she said pointedly at Brendan, "are amazing. Thanks for everything.”
Brendan said: “This programme will miss you. I will miss you. Thank you for teaching me so much about everything and for being a fantastic partner. Thank you so much, what a great ride!”
