Bethany Antonia has become the sixth celebrity to leave Strictly Come Dancing, after a closely fought dance-off with professional partner Nancy Xu

The pair reprised their Foxtrot against Love Island contestant Cach Mercer and Maddie Ingoldsby

The judges split their decisions, leaving head judge Shirley Ballas to choose Mercer and Ingoldsby

Antonia’s exit follows last week’s unusual three-couple dance-off

Elsewhere, Dani Dyer and Nikita Kuzmin topped the leaderboard with 36 points, including a ten from Motsi Mabuse.
