Christine Bleakley off Strictly
Monday, 1 December 2008
'The One Show' presenter Christine Bleakley was voted off 'Strictly Come Dancing' last night (30.11.08).
The 28-year-old beauty was forced to compete in a dance-off with former S Club 7 singer Rachel Stevens after failing to impress judges with her tango and salsa.

Following her and dance partner Matthew Cutler's dance to Robert Palmer's hit track 'Addicted To Love', judge Bruno Tonioli said it was "a bit limp" while his fellow judge Arlene Phillips said Christine's salsa, performed to the soundtrack of Jamiroquai's 'Cosmic Girl', "lacked some hip action".
Christine seemed unsurprised she was voted off the programme, admitting she had not expected to last as long as she had.
She said: "I thought I would go in the first week. It's been absolutely incredible. I can't thank people enough for their support, in Northern Ireland and over here.
"I will miss Matthew every day, more than anything."
'Britain's Next Top Model' presenter Lisa Snowdon was top of the leaderboard following her performances on Saturday night (29.11.08).
