First celebrity departs Strictly Come Dancing 2023 after Sunday dance-off

Former Family Fortunes host Les Dennis has become the first celebrity to depart the Strictly Come Dancing dance floor this year. After the first public vote of the BBC One show's 21st series, the 69-year-old found himself up against radio presenter Nikita Kanda in Sunday’s dance-off.

Kanda danced the Charleston to Single Ladies by Beyonce with dance partner Gorka Marquez while Dennis and his dance partner Xu performed the samba. When asked about his time on the show by presenter Tess Daly, Dennis said: “I’ve had the best time, this lady has been amazing, a great teacher, she’s really put me through my paces. I did as well as I could for you, I hope. That lot up there, I’m going to miss you so much.

“I respect you so, so much. I just want to say thank you to the judges and all my fellow friends. Thank you Strictly Come Dancing for all of your support. Thank you Les.”
