Susan Calman has survived the vote and stays in Strictly Come Dancing for another week. 

Instead entertainer Brian Conley and his partner Amy Dowden were voted off.

The public vote landed Conley and Dowden the Dance Off against Simon Rimmer and his partner Karen Clifton. Judges Craig and Darcey chose to save Simon for another week running, automatically sending Brian home after five weeks in the competition before Head Judge Shirley had to make her decision.

When casting the deciding vote, Darcey said: “This is incredibly difficult with these two fabulous men and it’s not easy at all to choose between them. But I am going to save the person who had a more finished performance which was Simon and Karen.”

The next show has a Halloween theme and Calman has hinted on Twitter that there may be a Game of Thrones element to her next routine with Kevin Clifton.
