She became the first celebrity to be sent home from this year’s Strictly Come Dancing during Sunday’s show.
And Kaye Adams, 59, has admitted she was “faded” during her dance-off performance and agreed that despite the sadness of leaving her, the right decision was made.
The Loose Women panelist, who appeared on Strictly’s It Takes Two, got emotional while discussing the show as she told host Rylan Clark, “I’m going to cry.”

The presenter was paired with professional dancer Kai Widdrington for the show as they took to the dance floor for a Charleston to Music! Music! Music! by Dorothy Provine for the week two live show.
But after a dance-off against Matt Goss and Nadiya Bychkova, Kaye and Kai couldn’t keep their place in the competition.
Recalling her performance, the star explained, “I saw a couple of people say, ‘She looked like a rabbit in the headlights,’ and all I can say is, yeah, that was me. I was blinding. I was tired!’

While the star’s elimination is disappointing, she admitted she thinks it was the right decision and praised her celebrity friends on the show.
“We knew it was going to be a tough night because everyone improves their game after the first week, the standard this year is so good there’s seven or eight that could easily be in the final.
“So we knew it was going to be a tough night and it was going to be difficult to get through,” she explained.
Kaye also gushed about partner Kai for his patience and mentorship, adding: “It’s been truly amazing I’m going to cry it’s been a privilege to meet Kai.”
