Frankie Bridge fails to impress Strictly Come Dancing judges with her salsa

'It was a little rough round the edges': Frankie Bridge fails to impress Strictly Come Dancing judges with her salsa 

Week after week she has been queen of the ballroom with her fancy footwork.
However on Saturday night's episode of Strictly Come Dancing Frankie Bridge found herself at the bottom of the score board when her salsa failed to impress the judges.
Luckily thanks her flawless moves during the Waltzathon at the end of the show, an additional five points saw The Saturdays' singer, 25, move from last place into joint third.

Rounding up the performances for the quarter final, Frankie and her professional partner Kevin Clifton took to the spotlight to give their steamy rendition of the Salsa.
Wearing a neon bright pink fringed skirt with a glittered bodice, the mother-of-one crumped and twerked across the ballroom as she showcased a series of lifts.
But despite giving it her all the beady-eyed judges failed to excuse the moves she did not execute to perfection and it showed in the points she was rewarded.

However it was head judge Len Goodman's examination which was the harshest as he described their dance as being 'a little rough round the edges'.
The 70-year-old said: 'Frankie you'll never be a bad dancer but for me but for me it was a little rough round the edges.'
As a result, Frankie and Kevin found themselves being awarded with the lowest overall score of 34.
