Judi Love exits Strictly Come Dancing

Judi Love has been eliminated from 'Strictly Come Dancing'.

The 41-year-old star and her professional dance partner Graziano Di Prima have become the latest pair to exit the BBC show, after they lost to Olympian Adam Peaty and his partner Katya Jones in the dreaded dance-off.

After her elimination was confirmed, Judi said: "Can I just say I’m taking Graz home!

"I will keep dancing. This has been an amazing experience, a life-changing experience. I want to say thank you to all the professional dancers, the judges, the team, everybody!

"Graziano has supported me, stuck by me, and took me to a place I never thought I could go and so for that I love you so much. Thank you."

Graziano also heaped praise on his dancer partner.

Asked if he had any words for Judi, he said: "She knows, basically. First of all, I’ve made a friend for life. She is one of the strongest women I’ve ever met, this woman has been in rehearsal every day, for every dance, given me 150 percent, and you know what I love the most, you are true, you are real, so thank you so much."

All of the 'Strictly' judges opted to save Adam and Katya in the dance-off.

Craig Revel Horwood said: "I think it’s a tough year for celebrities to sign up for 'Strictly', there is so much dance talent that you are competing with.

"All that being said, I have a personal preference and that personal preference, on their dance tonight, is Adam and Katya."

Motsi Mabuse also opted to save Adam and Katya.

She said: "I have to say that dance-off was really great, it was great to watch both couples dancing on the dancefloor.

"The decision was made for me and so I have to say that the couple that I will be saving is Adam and Katya."
