Yeah, the loss of the best arse on Strictly is a major downer.

And what were either of them doing in the dance-off? Didn't Abby Clancy get the first top marks of the series on Saturday? How did she end up in the bottom two? How come Mark Benton still hasn't lost a pound with all that exercise?

And how the fuck is Dave Myers still in it?

Oh well, at least Fiona Fullerton's still in...

Strictly Come Dancing 2013's lineup is:

Abbey Clancy: model turned TV presenter, wife of former England footballer Peter Crouch

Ashley Taylor Dawson: actor and singer best known as Darren Osborne in Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks

Ben Cohen: England rugby union World Cup winner turned anti-bullying campaigner
