Cha Cha Cha disaster for Craig as he exits Strictly
November 7, 2009 by Nigel Slater
Coronation Street actor Craig Kelly and his partner Flavia Cacace are the latest couple to be shown the door in Strictly Come Dancing.
Kelly, who plays ladies man Luke Strong in the ITV soap, lost out to Eastenders actor Ricky Groves in the dance-off.
This week the show was recorded live at the Blackpool Tower Ballroom – the claimed home of ballroom dancing.
Kelly’s Cha Cha Cha was blasted by the judges with Alesha Dixon describing it as a ‘daddy’ type of dance. His efforts were rewarded with only 17 points – the lowest score of the night.
All judges voted to save Ricky Groves, whose Salsa with Erin Boag, earlier in the night received just 25 points.
The dance of the night came from The Bill actress Ali Bastian and her partner Brian Fortuna. The pair scored a maximum 40 points for their Vienese Waltz. The pair’s score is the first 40 in the series.
BBC Sports presenter Chris Hollins also impressed the judges after his Foxtrot earned him a personal best of 34 points with partner Ola Jordan.
Groves, Bastian and Hollins are joined by Jade Johnson, Phil Tufnell, Ricky Whittle, Natalie Cassidy and Laila Rouass.
Just eight celebrities now remain in the competition.
