Gary Rhodes off Strictly
Monday, 6 October 2008
Gary Rhodes was voted off 'Strictly Come Dancing' last night (05.10.08).
The TV chef - who was partnered by professional dancer Karen Hardy - failed to impress judges with his jive on Saturday night (04.10.08), and scored a poor 18 out of a possible 40 points.
Following Gary's performance, judge Arlene Phillips said: "Enthusiasm - yes! But you need to stop counting in your head, feel the rhythm and dance. Your footwork was kind of as flat as a pancake."
Gary was forced to compete in the dance-off alongside Olympic swimmer Mark Foster, but was eventually chosen by the judges to leave the TV talent show.
After finding out he would be leaving the BBC One programme, Gary said: "I would go through it all again - I want that ballroom dance. Maybe we'll have that privately."
Next week, a second female competitor will be voted off the show.
'Britain's Next Top Model' presenter Lisa Snowdon and former 'EastEnders' star Jessie Wallace are the favourites to be in the dance-off.
