Week 6: Jo Wood leaves the dancefloor
The Dance-Off
On Saturday 24th October, model and businesswoman Jo Wood became the sixth celebrity to be voted off the seventh series of BBC One’s Strictly Come Dancing.
In week six of the competition, all 11 of the remaining celebrity contestants and their professional dance partners took to the floor to dance either a Samba or an American Smooth.
After tonight’s performance, the combination of the judges' scores and viewers’ votes left Jo Wood and her professional partner Brendan Cole in the bottom two and facing the dance off with long jumper and Olympic athlete Jade Johnson and her professional partner Ian Waite.
The Judges' Comments
Making their decision on who to save the judges said:
Craig Revel Horwood: "Jade and Ian."
Alesha Dixon: "You’ve been a fantastic sport Jo, but I have to save Jade and Ian."
Bruno Tonioli: "It’s not difficult, Jade and Ian".
With three votes cast in their favour, Jade and Ian were saved and through to next weeks show making Head Judge Len Goodman’s vote academic, although he said his vote would have also gone to Jade and Ian.
On leaving the competition Jo Wood said: "I’m surprised I lasted this long, it’s a miracle! He’s (Brendan) been wonderful to me, he’s been absolutely fantastic. I’ve enjoyed every second."
Brendan agreed with Jo that he had enjoyed every second of the competition, saying, “Me too Jo Wood, me too.”
Tonight’s show saw legendary crooner Harry Connick Jr perform ’The Way You Look Tonight’ and viewers were treated to a cha-cha-cha by World Latin Champions Michael Malitowski and Joanna Leunis. As well as this, Strictly’s professional dancers performed a group jive.
Next week, the remaining 10 couples will dance to stay in the competition and the Bee Gees will perform live.
