The latest star to be eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing has revealed the first thing they will do after leaving the competition.
Melanie Walters and Aljaž Škorjanec are the second couple to leave Strictly Come Dancing 2026.
The Gavin and Stacey star, 64, and her dance partner ended up in the dance off during Sunday night’s results show, along with Shaun Wright-Phillips and professional partner Alexis Warr.
Speaking on the spin-off show Lights Up on Sunday night (11 October) after elimination, Melanie said: “I’m so proud that I said yes to it because it's such an amazing opportunity. And also to feel the fear and do it anyway.”
She added that now she’s been eliminated, she would “go and have a swim at home in Mumbles”.
