Strictly Come Dancing Results Show Sees James Cracknell Eliminated From The Competition

When asked by Tess about his time on the show, James said: “Definitely enjoyed the last three days of the last week as I got to grips with the steps and started to enjoy it.

“I’m enjoying it anyway, the luxury of being with someone so good and learning off them. I’m a way better dancer than I was two weeks ago.

“Luba’s been amazing with being so patient with a couple of left feet.”

His professional partner, Luba Mushtuk was then asked if she had any words for James and said: “I would like to say a huge thank you with all my heart to make this journey so amazing. You inspired me every day and I hope you inspire many more other people to start dancing.”

Sunday’s Results show also featured a flamenco-inspired routine set on the rooftops of Barcelona from the professional dancers, plus a musical performance from Lewis Capaldi who performed his number one hit single, Someone You Loved.

The remaining fourteen couples will take to the dance floor next week for the annual Movie Special.

Strictly Come Dancing returns on Saturday 5 October at 7.10pm with the results show following on Sunday 6 October at 7.15pm on BBC One.
