We’ve lost our first Strictly Come Dancing contestant of the series – so if you haven’t watch Sunday night’s episode yet, waltz right away.

Well, technically it’s the second afterJamie Laing’s injury – but the first to be voted off.

So who left Strictly?

Who was voted off Strictly last night?

James Cracknell OBE is the first celebrity to depart the dance floor in Strictly 2019.

When asked by Tess about her time on the show, James said: ‘Definitely enjoyed the last three days of the last week as I got to grips with the steps and started to enjoy it.’

He went on to say that he’s ‘a way better dancer than [he] was two weeks ago.’

He called his dance partner Luba Mushtuk ‘amazing’ and thanked her for being ‘so patient with a couple of left feet.’

Who was in the bottom two?

Cracknell went up against ex-England goalie David James.

Both couples performed their same routines from Saturday night; James and Luba jiving to Tutti Fruitti by Little Richard and David and dance partner Nadiya Bychkova performed their Paso Doble.

It was a clean sweep to save David with all four judges choosing to save him.

Craig Revel Horwood said that the couple ‘improved beyond compare’ and Motsi Mabuse felt it was a ‘stronger performance, stronger intention.’

Head Judge Shirley Ballas didn’t have to vote as Bruno had already voted to save David too, but she said she would’ve voted to keep him too.

Catch the remaining 14 couples next Saturday from 7.10pm on BBC One.
