Strictly Come Dancing: week four results – live - The Guardian

Thanks for watching along with me, sparkly squadron. Our dancefloor dozen now progress to the fifth live show. It airs next Saturday at 6.35pm on BBC1, with the couples bidding to get through to the following weekend’s Halloween spooktacular.

Meet you back here to rate the twinkle-toed triumphs and slate the dance dis-ah-sters. In the meantime, it almost (but not quite) goes without saying: keeeeeeep dancing! Goodnight.

acanthe says of the dance-off: “What is happening to Strictly? Most weeks now, it’s the people in the bottom two who are in the dance off! It’s almost as if the viewing audience has seen it’s a dance contest.”

Yodaknowsall says: “The fact that Strictly has helped Krishnan find his ‘happy’ is one of the best things about this show.”

And ksym77 says of the fluffed lift and mistakes in the dance-off: “Oof. You have to feel for Jody. Having that happen in your last dance must be awful.”

On the pros’ group dance, Somersetlass says: “How stunning was that opening dance? Tender, romantic ... absolutely beautiful.”

Gardener_Maidhc agrees: “Aah. That was Heartstopper levels of cute and sweet. More please!”

ButterflyBlu says of the musical guest: “Gwarn Beverly. She was on FIRE! That was hand clapping, toe tapping, thigh slapping good.”

A rapid round-up of your comments. In Frockwatch news, fernzette says “Tess is a sequinned leek tonight.”

Canterbury345 says: “Love Claudia’s outfit - she’s obviously been to the fab Chanel exhibition at the V&A!”

neko99 adds: “Just realised Claud’s fringe is shorter than it’s ever been. We can see her whole eyes. So sad my mum didn’t live to see that. She commented on it every week for years! Drove her nuts. :D”

TV viewers can now flip to Handmade: Britain’s Best Woodworker on Channel 4, wildlife series Big Little Journeys on BBC2 or or stay on BBC1 for Antiques Roadshow from Crystal Palace Park.

At 9pm, schlockily gripping new drama The Ex-Wife debuts on Channel 5. At 10pm, Russell T Davies introduces his adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream on BBC4. Film of the night is Jordan Peele’s Us at 9pm on BBC2. Don’t have nightmares.

Polish pro Jowita Przystal might be the reigning glitterball champion, having won the 2022 contest with Hamza Yassin, but the pocket rocket departs early this year. She did her best with Jody, working well around both his disability and dance deficiencies. In a high-quality year, however, it wasn’t enough to make it past week four.

Still, they formed a sweet partnership and Jowita can probably expect a more promising partner next year. Her early exit also means we’re now likely to see her on the Christmas special. Only 70 shopping days left (sorry).

Eddie Kadi and Karen Hauer say their goodbyes to the eliminated couple.

We’re now left with a dancefloor dozen of six male celebrities and six females, which has pleasing symmetry. Equality – for now.

Now that his regular neighbours down the bottom of the scoreboard, Les Dennis and Nikita Kanda, have been packed off home, Jody Cundy’s exit had a certain air of inevitability. He’s been bottom of the scoreboard for the past two weeks and had never scored more than six. Totals of 21, 16, 20 and 19 points were elimination form.

He not only fought an infected leg and reduced rehearsal time last week but as a sportsman, struggled with Strictly’s performance side. It was a challenge to conquer his shyness and let loose, not least with the party salsa. Jowita ripping his shirt open and cleverly dancing around him couldn’t conceal he fact that Jody wasn’t a natural dancer.

His highlights were his week one foxtrot and Up-themed American smooth in Movie Week, where he was debonair with a decent frame. It was in Latin dances where his deficiencies showed. Getting the boot on his 45th birthday weekend might seem cruel but he can now concentrate on training for the 2024 Paralympics. Good luck and go well, Jody.

It wasn’t just Eddie Kadi who dodged a bullet there, crashing down to earth after scoring this year’s first 10 last week.

Clustered at joint third from bottom of the scoreboard were Ellie Leach, Krishnan Guru-Murthy, Angela Scanlon and last week’s dance-off survivor Zara McDermott.

With Jody having been lifted out of danger by the public vote these last two weeks, that quartet must have been sweating a smidge. They’ll all be keen to climb back into the top half of the table next week.

As the J-Team take their last turn around the ballroom floor to Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me by Elton John and George Michael, the credits roll and the other couples crowd in for cuddles. Please stay with us for analysis and reaction.

Jowita and Jody’s last dance.

His pro partner and “head coach” Jowita Przystal returns the compliment: “I cannot describe how proud I am of you, Jody. From day one until tnow, it’s an enormous improvement. I hope from now on, when you go out and hear the music, you’re not going to hide anywhere. You’re going to go on that dancefloor and give it all. And I hope that one day when you look back at all of this, you be proud of yourself. That will be my biggest achievement.”

Aww. Expect to see Jody on a dancefloor near you soon. He’ll be the one with an open yellow shirt, waxed chest and wiggling pecs.

In a gracious farewell interview, Jody Cundy tells Tess: “I thought ‘What on earth am I signing up for?’ Then we did that first live show and I absolutely loved every second of it. Just being able to dance, do something I’ve never done before and get completely out of my comfort zone. This amazing person has got so much energy. Every morningat the start of training, and she’s like “bam!”. She comes into the room like an absolute cannonball and just doesn’t stop the whole day. She doesn’t lose faith and motivates me to do more and more. I’ve had an absolute blast.”

Nicely said, sir.

Twirly Shirley confirm that she would also have decided to save Eddie, so it’s unanimous. We’re yet to have a split decision this year.

There we have it. Jody Cundy CBE becomes this year’s third celebrity to depart the dancefloor.

Eddie and Karen, saying “one couple danced very well and one couple had an off night with a couple of mistakes”.

Eddie and Karen, saying “for me, it’s a very clear decision, they were much, much stronger”.

Eddie and Karen, “for their improvement and musicality”.

Did Jody do enough to close that five-point gap? I doubt it but let’s consult the experts.

The dance-off couples await their fate.
