Tonight’s Strictly Come Dancing saw BBC soap star Balvinder Sopal and ER actress Alex Kingston dance again in a battle for survival after they landed in the bottom two.
It was the fifth time that EastEnders star Balvinder has been in the bottom two.
On Saturday night (November 29), Alex danced a disaster-hit Cha Cha Cha, before taking on a Rumba in the Instant Dance challenge. Balvinder, meanwhile, performed a Jive, before dancing a Paso Doble in the Instant Dance challenge.
And, after the ladies had performed their Week 10 routines again, it was time for the judges to decide who to send home…

Who left Strictly Come Dancing tonight?
This week’s leaderboard was a culmination of last week’s Blackpool Special votes and judges’ scores, as well as extra points from Saturday night’s brand-new Instant Dance challenge, where a maximum of six marks were available for the performance that impressed the judges the most.
After both couples had danced a second time in the dance off, the judges delivered their verdicts.
Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse chose to save Balvinder and partner Julian Caillon. Anton Du Beke saved Alex and partner Johannes Radebe.
That meant it was down to this week’s head judge Shirley Ballas to cast the deciding vote. Shirley saved Balvinder and Julian, meaning Alex was sent home.
