Will Best and his professional partner Dianne Buswell are eliminated from BBC One’s Strictly Come Dancing after a dance-off on Sunday night, with the pair becoming the seventh celebrity couple to leave the competition. Multiple outlets describe the result as close and intense.
Several reports also focus on what the elimination means for Strictly’s upcoming Blackpool-themed week. The Mirror and Manchester Evening News say the couple narrowly avoid appearing during the famous Blackpool weekend special, framed as an exit that fans were not expecting. Other outlets emphasize the emotional impact, including descriptions that Will Best is in tears after the elimination.
While all sources cover the same elimination, their emphasis varies: some lead with the “nail-biting” nature of the dance-off, others highlight the missed chance to go to Blackpool, and others foreground viewer reaction, including claims that fans felt “robbed.” The Daily Mail also adds a personal detail about the timing of Will Best’s first child during his stint on the show, alongside the elimination itself.
