Kaye: TV KO is OK by me...
Strictly celeb is first to waltz off
LOOSE Women star Kaye Adams admitted it was “the right result” as she became the first celebrity to leave Strictly Come Dancing.
The 59-year-old TV presenter and her partner Kai Widdrington lost out in a tense dance-off last night with singer Matt Goss, 54, and pro-dancer Nadiya Bychkova.
Judges Motsi Mabuse, Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke saved his Samba against her Charleston.
But head judge Shirley Ballas believed Kaye performed better.
Kaye said: “It was the right result, I did make mistakes, when it comes to that high pressured situation that’s what happens.
“So I am delighted for Matt and Nadiya, the only person I’m sorry for is this wonderful man, Kai, who has been so brilliant.
“It was a hell of a lot of fun, I said my ambition was to learn to love to dance and actually I have seen a whole new side to myself, it’s opened a little door.”
Kai responded: “Only we know how much real hard work has gone into this.
“There has been lots of ups and downs, but this lady is a trouper. You should be proud of yourself, you are a superstar.”
On Saturday night, ex-Britain’s Got Talent finalist Molly Rainford secured the top spot with a quickstep to Beyonce hit Love On Top.
The show’s 15 contestants took to the dance floor for the second time ahead of the first public vote.
Presenter Helen Skelton, 39, said the celebs have already bonded.
Yesterday she told Radio Five Live: “You get dropped into this weird scenario. You do become good friends very quickly.”
Talking of her confidence issues, she said: “They keep telling me to own it, I’m owning the fact I’m here, I turned up!”
It was the right result, I did make mistakes, it’s been a hell of a lot of fun
