Louisa danced well to reach Strictly's quarter-finals
Albert Square girl Louisa Lytton was voted off Strictly Come Dancing last night after receiving the least number of votes from viewers.
The Eastenders star, who had struggled with her training throughout the week in the run-up to today's show, nevertheless won the crowds over in her farewell dance, receiving rapturous applause from the studio audience.
However she and dance partner Vincent Simone collected the lowest number of points from the TV judges of the four quarter-finalist pairings. They received cumulative totals of 31 for their American smooth and 29 for their rumba.
Although former Spice Girl Emma Bunton scored the highest on the night it was she who was in the bottom two for the third consecutive week, but yet again found herself surviving the chop. She now moves onto the show's semi-finals stage.
Also relieved this week is Matt Dawson, whose cumulative points score was just two above that of Louisa's.
Meanwhile, although cricketer Mark Ramprakash may have done well onstage last night, he has had a torrid time in this morning's tabloid newspapers.
Reports claim that he has admitted having an extra-marital affair which ended just weeks before beginning his Strictly Come Dancing journey.
