Will Best eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing following dance off against Jaime Winstone
In the seventh results show of Strictly Come Dancing, Will Best and Dianne Buswell left the competition following a dance off against Jaime Winstone and Carlos Gu.
Both couples performed their routines again. Will and Dianne performed their Paso Doble to Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat, before Jaime and Carlos performed their Charleston to I Can’t Do It Alone by Catherine Zeta-Jones.
After both couples had danced, the judges delivered their verdicts:
Motsi Mabuse chose to save Jaime and Carlos.
Head Judge Shirley Ballas chose to save Jaime and Carlos.
Anton Du Beke chose to save Will and Dianne.
Craig Revel Horwood – who this week was the judge with the deciding vote – voted to save Jaime and Carlos, which meant that Will and Dianne would be leaving the competition.
There’ll be immediate reaction from the Strictly dance floor in Strictly: Lights Up, hosted by Abi Clarke and Tyler West, available on BBC iPlayer from the moment the results show credits roll. Will and Dianne will then join Ellie Taylor on Strictly - It Takes Two on Monday at 6:30pm on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer.
Sunday night’s results show saw the professional dancers perform a romantasy-inspired group number, which features the voice of Alan Cumming (Tip Toe, The Traitors US, X-Men). The results show also featured music from The Celebrity Traitors winner Sebastian Croft, accompanied by a routine from Julian Caillon and Jowita Przystał.
The remaining couples will take to a different dancefloor next week, as Strictly Come Dancing heads to the iconic Blackpool Tower Ballroom at 6:35pm on Saturday 21st November. All episodes of the 2026 series so far are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
