Music stops for DJ on Strictly

-

TYLER West has said his experience on Strictly Come Dancing has given him confidence and a “newfound family”, as he became the eighth contestant to leave the show after a competitiv­e weekend in Blackpool.

Following Saturday’s live show, which saw the BBC competitio­n return to the town’s prestigiou­s Tower Ballroom for the first time since 2019, after a break due to the pandemic, the Kiss FM DJ found himself in the dance-off against

Molly Rainford. During last night’s results show, West reprised his salsa to Megamix by KC and The Sunshine Band alongside his partner, Dianne Buswell, in a bid to impress the judges.

After both couples had danced for a second time, three out of the four judges chose to save Rainford. Anto Du Beke said he felt both couples could have “easily made the final”, but chose in vain to save West and Buswell as he felt they were “more dynamic”.
