A Wynne..and a loss

Opera star Evans' Towering performance ends in an exit

- NICOLA METHVEN

IT'S been a rocky road to Blackpool's Tower Ballroom for Wynne Evans and last night he became the eighth celebrity to exit Strictly Come Dancing.

The Welsh opera singer left the show after the judges unanimously voted to keep Gladiators star Montell Douglas and her pro partner Johannes Radebe in the competition.

It came after former Towie star Pete Wicks managed to avoid the dreaded dance-off, despite finishing bottom on the leaderboard, scoring 27 points for his cha-cha to I'm Too Sexy with Jowita Przystał.

Wynne and partner Katya Jones came second to last after scoring 31 for their fun charleston to Carmen Suite No. 1: 5. Les Toreadors while Montell and Jojo got 35 for their salsa to Don't Leave Me This Way.
