Kaye Adams admitted it was the “right result” after being named the first contestant to leave Strictly Come Dancing following a dance-off with former Bros star Matt Goss on Sunday night.
Both couples went through their routines again, with Kaye and dance partner Kai Widdrington performing their Charleston to Music! Music! Music! by Dorothy Provine.
Then Matt and his dance partner Nadiya Bychkova performed their samba to Night Fever by the Bee Gees to impress the judges and stay in the competition.
All things considered: Kaye Adams admitted it was the “right result” after being named the first contestant to leave Strictly Come Dancing with partner Kai Widdrington on Sunday night
After both couples danced a second time, the judges announced their verdicts, with Craig Revel Horwood deciding to save Matt and Nadiya.
Craig said, “Well the couple for me who I think danced the best that night and the couple I’d like to save are Matt and Nadiya.”
Motsi Mabuse also opted to save Matt and Nadiya, adding: “Well that was so close, both pairs made mistakes. I feel like they were on the same level but a pair was a little better for me and I save Matt and Nadiya.
Confirming the result, Anton Du Beke said: “Well it wasn’t a vintage dance-off and I know exactly how you feel and I’ve been in that position many times myself and I think if you had the chance , would you like to go again, both of you.

Tense: Kai’s girlfriend Nadiya was also in the final two alongside Matt
Shouldn’t be: After both couples danced a second time, the judges announced their verdicts, with Craig Revel Horwood deciding to save Matt and Nadiya
“There were a lot of mistakes for both couples, I felt like one couple was also losing performance and that’s why I’d like to save Matt & Nadiya.”
With three votes for Kaye and Kai, it meant they had won the majority of the votes and would still exit the contest, but Head Judge Shirley Ballas said she decided to save Kaye and Kai.
When asked if she agreed with the other judges, she said, “I didn’t, I thought due to a slightly better quality I would have saved Kaye and Kai.”
Reflecting on her brief Strictly experience, Kaye admitted that she had nothing to say about the judges’ decision to let her go.
She said: “It was the right result and I made mistakes and when it comes to this high-pressure situation, that happens.
“So I’m happy for Matt and Nadiya, the only person I just feel sorry for is this wonderful man [Kai]which was just so awesome… It was so much fun, I said my ambition was to learn to love dancing, and actually I saw a whole new side of myself, it opened a little door.
“It was a wonderful experience and a pleasure to spend time with such talented people who love the show so much!”
A disappointed Kai added: “Well you know, only we know how much hard work goes into it. There have been many ups and downs and we won’t go into them, but this lady is a soldier and I know what she’s been through for the week.
“For this woman to come out and give the performance she gave tonight really shows her character.”
Turning to Kaye, he said, “I’m proud of you, I know your girls and your other half are proud of you, but the most important thing is that you should be proud of yourself because you’re a superstar.”
Farewell: After the dance, the couple said goodbye
