Who left Strictly 2026? Seventh celebrity to be voted out revealed

The seventh celebrity to leave Strictly Come Dancing has been revealed, with Will Best and his partner Dianne Buswell exiting after this week's show.

In the results show, Will and Dianne faced a dance off against Jaime Winstone and Carlos Gu, with both couples performing their routines again.

Will and Dianne performed their Paso Doble to Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat, before Jaime and Carlos performed their Charleston to I Can’t Do It Alone by Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Ultimately, Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas both chose to save Jaime and Carlos, before Anton Du Beke chose to save Will and Dianne. Craig Revel Horwood, who had the deciding vote this week, voted to save Jaime and Carlos.

This means Will and Dianne sadly fell at the last hurdle before the legendary Blackpool Week, where all the couples head to the Blackpool Tower Ballroom.

That show will take place next weekend, with the live episode airing at 6:35pm on Saturday 21st November.

Will and Dianne had scored 27 during Saturday's show, landing them in joint last place on the leaderboard, along with Graeme Hall and Lauren Oakley and Lacey Turner and Vito Coppola.

Meanwhile, Jaime and Carlos had scored 33, meaning they came in third place, just behind Delta Goodrem and and Aljaž Škorjanec on 35 and Cach Mercer and Maddie Ingoldsby on 39.
