Radio star Zoe Ball joined a number of stars sharing their support for Shayne Ward and Nancy Xu after they ended up in the bottom two on Strictly Come Dancing
Radio star Zoe Ball joined a host of stars reaching out to Shayne Ward after he took part in the dreaded Strictly dance-off.
Singer Shayne and his dance partner Nancy Xu were in the bottom two, with Nick Knowles and Luba Mushtuk. Both couples performed their routines again as they were in the bottom two; Shayne and Nancy performed their Cha Cha to Ain’t No Love (Ain’t No Use) by Sub Sub feat. Melanie Williams. Then, Nick and Luba performed their Charleston to Rain on the Roof from the film Paddington 2.
With three votes in favour of Shayne and Nancy, they won the majority vote meaning that Nick and Luba would be leaving the competition. After being saved, Shayn and Nancy took to social media to thank fans for their support as they put their focus on next weeks show.
“We’re grateful for all your votes indeed so see you next week,” he told the camera before Nancy added: “I promise you we’re going to keep smashing.” Fans and friends rushed to the comment section to share their support, including Zoe Ball. She wrote: “Keep the faith you guys.”
Big Brother’s Yinrung Huang said: “You’re both amazing!!” while Catherine Tyldesley posted: “You guys are consistently awesome!!! Keep killing it kids! We all love you both.” Fellow Strictly star JB Gill wrote: “Smashed it you two! Nothing but love for you,” and Dianne Buswell posted a few heart emojis.
Nancy wrote in the caption: “Getting another chance to dance with you! @shaynetward Thank you all for the support and love! It’s meant a world! [fingers crossed emojis] We are very grateful! [purple heart emojis] Gonna keep going ! And hopefully, you all had a good time.”
When asked by Tess about their time on the show, Nick said over the weekend: “I’ve really, really been surprised by how much I’ve loved doing it and by two things that happen. One is how much you care each week, and the other is how much you don’t want to let down your partner. The only reason I could do this is simply because of Luba’s changes, she’s been amazing.”
Luba said: “I’ve never met someone as determined as you, and I remember you saying that if you do your best, you’ll be very happy. I think you did more than your best. Thank you.” Nick went on to say Luba had been ‘amazing’ and ‘so fabulour’ every day before thanking the staff from the show.
