On Saturday night, the remaining couples headed to the ballroom hoping to impress judges, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and head judge, Shirley Ballas and the voting audience.

But this weekend, Bros star Matt, 54, became the third contestant to confront actress Kym Marsh in the dreaded dance-off.

Both couples performed their routine again, with Kym and her dance partner Graziano Di Prima performing their Samba to Volare from Gipsy Kings.

After that, Matt and his dance partner Nadiya Bychkova performed their Jive to All Shook Up in an effort to impress the judges and stay in the competition.

Earlier on Friday it was announced that the real estate company Helen Skelton founded with her ex Richie Myler threatened with forced closure.

The Strictly Come Dancing star, 39, and her recently estranged husband, 32, are facing the forced closure of their company Myler Properties LLP after it failed to file the legally required bills.

The company – which was founded in January 2020 while they were still together – has been warned of an impending ‘mandatory strike’ order, which would require it to be shut down.

Helen and Richie have until November 6 to successfully demonstrate that Myler Properties LLP should not be delisted.

Helen founded the company under her married name to rugby star Richie, with whom she shared three young children: Ernie, six, Louis, and nine-month-old Elsie.

Documents just published show that Myler Properties LLP has been unable to provide accounts of the partnership’s income and expenses, which were due to be filed in January.

The Countryfile presenter divorced husband Richie in April after eight years of marriage and just four months after she welcomed the couple’s third child.

While Helen is now living in her parents’ home with children Ernie, six, Louis, five, and nine-month-old Elsie, Richie is dating Stephanie Thirkill, 32, who is pregnant with the couple’s first child.

In an interview with The TelegraphHelen declined to comment on Richie’s new relationship out of respect for everyone involved, noting, “You can’t have an opinion about someone else’s life until you’ve walked in those shoes. And my family is happy, my children are happy, and that’s what matters in the end.’

She explained that she agreed to participate in Strictly to end the year on a positive note, claiming, “I think it would have been disrespectful if I hadn’t done Strictly. For my family, who need to see me have a great time. It’s not just for me.’
