Who was Eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing Tonight?
Tonight’s results show was the end of the road for Lewis and Katya after Musicals Week. They landed in the bottom two with Amber Davies and her partner Nikita Kuzmin after the public vote and judges scores were combined.
Both couples had to dance again in the usual dance off. Lewis and Katya repeated their salsa to music from West Side Story while Amber and Nikita repeated their Charleston from Guys and Dolls.

Judges Decision
All four judges chose to save Amber and Nikita. That meant Lewis and Katya were the couple sent home and just missed out on the semi final.
Head judge Shirley Ballas said the decision was hard and described feeling heartbroken about the result. Other judges praised Lewis and called him one of the strongest dancers not to reach the semi final this year.
How Fans Reacted
Many viewers were shocked that Lewis went out at this stage. On social media, fans said it felt harsh because he had been near the top of the leaderboard often and was seen as a finalist in the making.
Amber’s survival split opinion. Some fans felt the judges were right to save the couple who delivered a perfect scoring Charleston while others thought Lewis deserved one more week.
What it means for the show
With Lewis gone, only four couples are left for the semi final next week. The remaining celebrities are Amber Davies, Balvinder Sopal, George Clarke and Karen Carney with their partners.
Each pair now prepares two routines for the semi final episode. The final is close so any mistake next week could decide who makes the last show of the series.
