Scott Mills is the latest celebrity to be voted off Strictly Come Dancing... as three judges vote to save Alison Hammond following dance off

Scott Mills is the latest celebrity to be voted off Strictly Come Dancing... as three judges vote to save Alison Hammond following dance off

His own partner labelled him as having 'two left feet' so it wasn't too surprising when Scott Mills was voted off Strictly Come Dancing on Sunday night. 
The DJ lost the dance off to Alison Hammond when judges Craig Revel Horwood, Bruno Tonioli and Darcey Bussell all chose the TV presenter's performance over his as they competed for the final spot in next week's show. 
Surprisingly Len Goodman admitted he would have saved Scott, believing his foxtrot to The Addams Family Theme Tune, was superior to Alison's but that didn't stop Scott from going home.

Len said: 'Had it been left to me, I thought they were both so much fun.
'They were both dancing the foxtrot so I went for the section which was the foxtrot and in that case, it would have been Scott that I would have saved.'
Len had encouraged him earlier, telling Scott and his professional partner Joanne Clifton that they just needed to do exactly what they had done on Saturday night.
He said: 'You came out and performed your most impressive performance so far. You just need to do exactly the same.'
However, it wasn't enough to compete against Alison and her partner Aljaz Skorjanec, who were praised for the 'extra flourishes' in their final performance. 
Scott, who is the fifth celebrity to leave the competition, called the experience 'the most fun' he'd ever had.
Speaking after the show, he said: 'It's something that I never thought I would do and I'm so glad that I said yes to it because it's been the most fun I've ever had!'
Scott also praised Joanne, saying: 'We've become friends so it's really sweet. It doesn't really end for me here because I'll still see her.' 
Extra flourishes:  Alison Hammond and Aljaz Skorjanec, who left the audience mesmerised with their American Smooth to Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush, were praised for going all out in the dance off

He tweeted: 'Strictly has been the best experience and I've just had such an amazing time.
'I'm so pleased I took part and I hope people enjoyed watching me try really hard in being as good as I could be.
'I've met some great people and made lots of new friends. I will miss them all. [sic]' 
Annie Lennox performed I Put A Spell On You from her new album Nostalgia on the results show. 
However, Scott did joke about Judy Murray's dancing skills as she survived yet another week.  
He said: 'Judy knows she is not any good but she is having a brilliant time and she is so warm.
'Me and Judy joke that we are in the crap dancers club. It's the blind leading the blind.'
Dressed to impress: The 39-year-old star looked gorgeous in a white loose-fit chiffon gown as she took on the role of Cathy in Wuthering Heights, while Aljaz played Heathcliff

Meanwhile, the contestants pulled out all the stops and put on their best Halloween costumes in an attempt to stay on the TV show for another week on Saturday night.
After getting eights across the board last week, Frankie Bridge and Kevin Clifton managed to top the leader board with an impressive 37 points.

The star was told by Darcey Bussell: 'It was so beautiful I shivered down my back. I was so taken away with your performance. I can't wait to see you return next week. 
Craig Revel Horwood commented: 'It was a spectacular number,' while head judge Len Goodman simply said: 'One word - fabulous!'
Bruno added:' I had tingles down my spine. It almost brought tears to my eyes at the end. It was simply amazing.' 
The singer was given three nines and one ten from Bruno, totalling 37.

First to impress the judges on week six of Strictly was Casualty star Sunetra Sarker and her dance partner Brendan Cole.
Dressed as sizzling vampires, the pair performed the Jive to Gloria Jones’ Tainted Love.
Scoring a respectable 27, head judge Len Goodman told them that they had lost ‘the flair of the dance’.
Bruno Tonioli added: ‘I understand it’s very hard to do the jive. You’re such a fluid dancer and it’s hard to do flicks and kicks.’
Craig went on to say: ‘I thought it was a little laboured and lacked punch… but you are a natural heavy mover.’

Bruno told the wildlife presenter: 'It was a little under-powered. You are usually quite poppy but I’m sure you’ll make a better comeback.’

'Your lifts were terrific but things did get into your head,' Len quipped.

However the same couldn't be said for Judy Murray who found herself at the bottom of the table after her and Anton du Beke's American Smooth.
Dressed as the evil Cruella de Vil, the 55-year-old star danced to the theme track from the movie 101 Dalmations and scored a low 20.
‘You are confusing the American Smooth to the American stiff,' Bruno told the Tennis coach. 'You are doing what we expect… to deliver nothing.
Craig: ‘It was spikey. There was no flow to it. It was like you were dancing Anton with a mannequin.’
Darcy: ‘You looked amazing and you looked the part. You came out of the character. But I do want to say there was so much more dance content there – a major improvement.

Darcy commented: ‘It was a controlled and clean Samba. You have worked so hard but when it’s that clean you lose it a bit.
Craig also agreed and described it as ‘phonetic, which made it look to clean,’ while Bruno thought it was a ‘sizzling satanic’ routine.
