Strictly Come Dancing fans were devastated as Emmerdale's Lawrence Robb was eliminated in a controversial three-couple dance-off on Halloween week. Lawrence and his partner Jowita Przystał performed a Tango to Ghostbusters by Ray Parker Jr, but they were up against Bethany Antonia and Nancy Xu, and Jaime Winstone and Carlos Gu. The judges, Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, and Craig Revel Horwood, voted to eliminate Lawrence and Jowita, with Motsi Mabuse confirming she would have done the same if needed. Lawrence expressed his gratitude for the experience, while fans voiced their disappointment on social media.
The three-couple dance-off was a first for the show, with the judges choosing the couple to eliminate instead of saving. Lawrence and Jowita's elimination sparked debate among viewers, with some feeling it was unfair due to the new format. Strictly Come Dancing will return to the traditional two-couple dance-off in the next episode, with the remaining contestants set to perform again on November 7.
