Who left Strictly Come Dancing? Judi and Graziano are leaving the show

Judi Love and her professional dance partner Graziano Di Prima will be leaving Strictly after losing to Adam Peaty and Katya in the dance off.

All four judges agreed that it would be Adam staying in the competition.

The Comedian and TV presenter who has amassed a big online following with her online comedy sketches had previously reached the final of Celebrity Masterchef. But no such luck tonight as her "Let's get physical" dance failed to win over the judges.

Speaking after they got the result partner Graziano said: "We are friends for life. This woman has been in rehearsal every day, every week, every dance giving me 150%. You know what I love the most? That you are true and you are real and I was able to share this with you."

Judi said: "I will keep dancing. This has been an amazing experience, a life changing experience. I can't even explain but my partner has stuck by me and taken me to a place I never thought I could."

Judge Craig Revel Horwood had previously slated the routine, with nothing good to say about it all which did leaving his fellow judges baffled.

The Loose Women star and Graziano were forced to miss last weekend's live show, after she tested positive for Covid-19.

There was a lot of disappointment on social media after the announcement with many fans clearly believing that Judi was a key entertainer in the show.

One viewer said: "Judi and Ugo out and Adam and Dan in is a crime. What do they bring to the show tell me now?

Another added: "Judi and Graziano's legacy on this #strictly series is STRONG so proud of them."

One added: "So sad to see Judi and Graziano go. One of the best partnerships we’ve had on #Strictly. And so pleased Graz got to show just how great a choreographer he is. Seems like a genuinely lovely guy."

Shaun Kitchener wrote: "Judi may be leaving but her Sean Paul Samba will go down as an all-time classic. There have been finalists who haven’t produced dances that legendary. AN ICON."
