Strictly star Harry Aikines-Aryeetey on his exit
Harry and Karen Hauer performed a samba to Gloria Estefan’s Samba, picking up 30 points.
However, it saw them end up towards the bottom of the leaderboard, and after losing the dance-off, out of the competition.
Tonight saw Harry and Karen appear on It Takes Two to discuss their time on the show with Fleur East.
Talking to Harry about his elimination, Fleur asked: “Does it soften the blow a bit going out on a dance you loved so much?”
“To be fair, this whole Strictly journey was just something that I imagined,” he said. “I’d always wanted to learn the samba, I said that straight away, and it is one of those things that brings the party, so it’s nice to go out on a party.”
When asked how much more Harry had to bring to the competition, Karen replied saying “he was already bringing everything!”
“He was giving it his all every week and I couldn’t be prouder.”
