‘Strictly Come Dancing’ 2023: Fourth celebrity to be voted out revealed

After the departure of Jody Cundy and Jowita Przystal last week, the fourth celebrity to exit Strictly Come Dancing 2023 has been revealed.

After the votes of the four judges - Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke, and Shirley Ballas – were combined with the audience votes, comedian Eddie Kadi and partner Karen Hauer found themselves dancing for a place in next week’s Halloween Week special against Love Island star Zara McDermott and Graziano Di Prima.


Eddie and Karen took to the floor first to perform their sassy Samba to “Calm Down” by Rema and Selena Gomez.

Zara and Graziano tried to impress the judges with their romantic American Smooth to “Can't Fight The Moonlight” by LeAnn Rimes.

After both performances, all four judges unanimously decided to save Zara and Graziano, resulting in the eviction of Eddie and Karen. The duo became the fourth couple to leave the competition.

Meanwhile, Amanda Abbington was revealed to be skipping this Saturday's live show due to medical reasons.

Layton Williams and his professional partner Nikita Kuzmin, on the other hand, managed a near-perfect score of 39 for their salsa to “Quimbara” by Johnny Pacheco and Celia Cruz to put the top of the Strictly leaderboard for the second week on the bounce.

Krishnan Guru-Murthy and Lauren Oakley scored 30 points from the judges. The duo danced a Quickstep to the song “The Lady Is a Tramp” by Frank Sinatra. Craig awarded 6, while all of the other judges gave the performance a solid 8.

Britain moves to ban porn showing sexual strangulation

What Britain’s ban on strangulation porn really means and why campaigners say it could backfire

Highlights:

  • Government to criminalise porn that shows strangulation or suffocation during sex.
  • Part of wider plan to fight violence against women and online harm.
  • Tech firms will be forced to block such content or face heavy Ofcom fines.
  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
