Arlene: 'Strictly result was baffling'

Arlene Phillips has admitted that she was shocked by the latest Strictly Come Dancing result.

Saturday's show saw Zoe Lucker being eliminated from the competition after she faced off against Ali Bastian in the dance-off.

Axed judge Phillips has now suggested that viewers backed the wrong contestants on the night, claiming that neither star deserved to be in the bottom two.

She told The Sun: "It was an absolute shocker of an exit. How they ended up in the bottom two is baffling."

The choreographer also confessed that she is not a fan of former Coronation Street actor Craig Kelly, who was saved by voters after receiving just 24 points from the judges on Saturday.

Phillips asked: "Could the public be voting for personality rather than ability? Unlikely when Craig Kelly has the personality of a sand dune."

Strictly Come Dancing continues on Saturday at 6.25pm on BBC One.
