Loose Women panelists say Kaye Adams was 'robbed' on Strictly

Kaye Adams' Loose Women co-stars have defended her early exit from Strictly Come Dancing.

Jane Moore hosted today's episode of the ITV talk show as she issued a "spoiler alert" before continuing to say that her friend and colleague Kaye had been voted off the BBC ballroom dancing show. The panelist said that Kaye had been "robbed" as she was the first celebrity contestant to leave the competition.

She added: "I thought that she did so brilliantly. And for me, she is what the Strictly journey is supposed to be all about."

Jane explained that Kaye had never danced or performed in that way before joining the show. She said: "She was well outside her comfort zone and she was the first to admit it. She improved immensely from the first week to the second week and yet she's found herself out."

Janet Street-Porter added: "I think it's really unfair. I sent her a text last night, I said 'you showed so much guts doing it'. I really think it shows guts."

Linda Robson added: "I think it was so unfair because she was definitely better in the dance off than Matt was. Definitely, 100%."

The Loose Women presenter and her professional dance partner, Kai Widdrington, 27, found themselves in the first dreaded dance-off against singer Matt Goss and Nadiya Bychkova. They performed their Charleston to Music! Music! Music! by Dorothy Provine, while Matt and dance partner Nadiya then performed their Samba to Night Fever by the Bee Gees.

After both the couples had danced a second time, the judging panel delivered their verdicts. But the competition came to a quick end for Kaye and Kai as judges Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and Craig Revel Horwood voted to keep the Bros star in the competition for another week instead.
