Strictly Come Dancing has eliminated singer Toyah Willcox and her partner Neil Jones after a dance-off on October 6. Fans praised the judges for their unanimous decision to save footballer Paul Merson and Karen Hauer instead. This marks the second elimination of the season, following Olympic swimmer Tom Dean's exit last week. Viewers expressed mixed reactions, with many supporting the judges' choice while others criticized the earlier decision to send Dean home. Willcox reflected positively on her experience, calling it "the best two months of my life." She and Jones received praise for their hard work, despite their elimination. The competition continues next week with 13 remaining couples.
