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

Former England footballer Shaun Wright-Phillips and Strictly pro Alexis Warr are the fourth couple to leave Strictly Come Dancing 2026 following a dance-off against Jaime Winstone and Carlos Gu during Sunday night's results show.

The dance-off required both couples to perform their dances again, with Shaun and Alexis performing the Jive to "Faith" by Stevie Wonder ft. Ariana Grande and Jaime and Carlos performing the Foxtrot to Olivia Dean’s "Man I Need".

However, Shaun and Alexis failed to earn favour with the judges, as Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke all chose to save Jaime and Carlos. Only head judge Shirley Ballas chose to save Shaun and Alexis.

The results aren’t too surprising, as Shaun and Alexis came bottom of the leaderboard Saturday night, with a total score of only 17 in a performance that Craig Revel Horwood called a "disaster, darling."

Across the panel on Saturday, the judges all gave similar comments, with Anton Du Beke noting: "We had a lovely jive, they just weren’t doing the same one together."

And, combined with the fact that other contestants such as Delta Goodrem had such a triumphant return after recovering from an injury which knocked her out of the competition last week, it’s easy to see why Shaun and Alexis paled in comparison.

Delta, alongside her dance partner Kai Widddrington, managed to secure their first 10 of the series with their Rumba to Celine Dion’s "It's All Coming Back to Me Now", resulting in a final score of 34.

Elsewhere, Dani Dyer and Nikita Kuzmin also had a comeback with a score of 31 after last week’s adequate score of 25 left them second to last, behind Shaun and Alexis who managed a 28.

It seems that Week Five’s Jive was to the pair’s own detriment, eliminating them from the Strictly line-up this year. However, it wasn’t all bad, as Motsi Mabuse recognised Shaun’s immense effort and the fact he comes from such a different world with football. "I see that you are giving every week your utmost."

However, Sunday night’s result show also revealed that next week’s Halloween results show will feature Strictly’s first ever triple-dance-off in what will surely be a high-stakes performance you won't want to miss.

Strictly Come Dancing continues at 6:30pm on Saturday 31 October on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
