Strictly couple 'set to be axed' in shock result as Amanda Abbington gets free pass to next week

Body language expert predicts shock exit

According to a body language expert, Strictly Come Dancing will be hit with a surprise elimination this weekend. Darren Stanton, speaking on behalf of Betfair Roulette, believes that tennis legend Annabel Croft and pro dancer Johannes Radebe will be sent home due to their apparent 'lack of chemistry'. Stanton explains that he has not seen a strong connection between the pair and has noticed them faking smiles during rehearsals. He predicts that they could be in trouble when up against other couples with a stronger chemistry.

Angela Rippon and Kai Widdrington at risk

Stanton also suggests that Angela Rippon, the show's oldest ever contestant, and her partner Kai Widdrington could be at risk of elimination. While they have a gentle connection and support each other, Stanton believes that they may not last much longer in the competition. He notes signs of Angela starting to struggle more each week.

Amanda Abbington to return next week

Actress Amanda Abbington, who was due to perform a Cha Cha with her partner Giovanni Pernice, will not be taking part in Strictly Come Dancing this weekend due to medical reasons. However, the BBC has confirmed that she will return to the competition next week after receiving a pass.
