Letitia's Last Dance

Letitia Dean and Darren BennettIt's time for Letitia Dean to hang up her dancing shoes.

As she became the 10th celeb to be booted off Strictly Come Dancing last night.

Letitia and her dancing partner, Darren Bennett, were in the bottom two acts for the second week running yesterday, alongside Alesha Dixon and Matthew Cutler.

After both couples had performed in the dance-off, the four judges voted unanimously for Alesha to stay in the competition.

Judge Bruno Tonioli said: "It's incredibly hard - you both did great dances. One couple has that extra stardust and magic and that's Alesha and Matt."

In her last words on Strictly, Letitia said: "It's been the most amazing adventure.

Thanks to all of Darren's patience and hard work. It's been a wonderful experience and I can't thank him enough."

On Saturday night's show, Strictly's outspoken judge Craig Revel Horwood clashed with head judge Len Goodman, following a poor samba performance by EastEnders star Matt Di Angelo.

"You were counting all the way through, which annoyed me. Your timing was out the majority of the dance," Craig told Matt.

Len then interrupted Craig, telling him : "I've had enough of you. You are here to encourage, not criticise."

Things are likely to get more heated with this Saturday's semi-final, as Matt, Alesha and Gethin Jones dance for survival and a place in the final.
