Dan Lobb leaves 'Strictly Come Dancing'

Dan Lobb has become the second celebrity to leave Strictly Come Dancing.



The Daybreak presenter and professional partner Katya Virshilas were eliminated from the BBC competition following their Broadway-themed Viennese waltz.

The pair were joined in the danger zone by Nancy Dell'Olio and Anton DuBeke, but it was Lobb who finished bottom when viewer votes and judges' scores were combined.

Asked by hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman to pick the highlight of his Strictly experience, Lobb responded: "Oh, dancing with Katya - it's a wonderful opportunity to dance with somebody who works at the top of their profession, who is so talented."

Virshilas was also filled with praise for the retired tennis player, saying: "I have loved every single moment of it. I loved my tennis lesson. I shall cherish that. I didn't get a chance to get up with you at 3.30am though!"

Edwina Currie became the first star to leave the ninth series of Strictly Come Dancing last week.

Strictly Come Dancing continues next Saturday at 6.15pm on BBC One.
