Dunwoody falls at the second

Richard Dunwoody became the second celebrity to be voted off ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ last night.

The jockey and his professional dance partner Lilia Kopylova found themselves in the bottom two – along with ‘Coronation Street’ star Craig Kelly and partner Flavia Cacace – following the results of the public vote and judges’ scores.

The two couples then took part in the dance off before judges Craig Revel Horwood, Bruno Tonioli and Alesha Dixon all voted to save Craig, even though head judge Len Goodman admitted he had planned to vote for Richard.

Following his exit, Richard said: "It's been an unbelievable experience."

Lilia added: "He is by far the most hard-working partner I have had even though dancing did not come easily to him.

"And finally I'm going to learn how to ride horses."

Former model Jo Wood came bottom of the judges’ leaderboard with her dances on Friday and last night while ‘Hollyaoks’ star Ricky Whittle topped the scoreboard on both nights.

The seven couples who survived Saturday's show join the seven which went through last week when tennis player Martina Hingis became the first to leave.

The 14 couples will compete against each other for the first time next Saturday.
