Strictly Come Dancing confirms that its seventh couple is eliminated from the competition, meaning they will not perform in the upcoming Blackpool special. One report notes the couple narrowly missed a spot in next week’s live shows, and the elimination arrives shortly before the programme moves location.
Several outlets also confirm which remaining couples are heading to Blackpool. The Manchester Evening News frames this as fans learning the final list of performers for the Blackpool special after the latest exit, while the Belfast Telegraph similarly highlights that the elimination happens the week before the show relocates. Together, the coverage centres on the same transition point: the completion of another elimination and the announcement of the Blackpool lineup.
Across the sources provided, there is agreement on the timing and effect of the seventh elimination and the fact that the show is moving to Blackpool next week. Differences are mainly in emphasis, with one outlet foregrounding a judge’s comment about the routine, rather than the broader lineup confirmation.
