Aston Merrygold Eliminated From Strictly Come Dancing 2017

As revealed in what is proving to be one of the most talked about Strictly Spoilers ever, in one of the biggest upsets Strictly has ever seen early favourites to lift the glitterball Aston and Janette have been eliminated after losing in the Dance Off to Mollie and AJ.

You can relive their Paso Doble from Halloween Week in the video below:

There’s already been extensive discussion on this topic here, on Facebook and on Twitter but I’ll ask the question anyway…… Did the right couple leave? Excuse me while I just go and duck for cover but you can let me know your thoughts about that or anything else to do with this weekend’s Strictly right here in the comments section below (comments only appear on individual posts and not the home page) or on either of the social networks.

Each time you comment you earn an entry into the competition to win one of three £20 Amazon UK vouchers I have to give away each and every week.

Or you can vote in this week’s poll and tell me who of the 9 couples left you would like to see lift the glitterball next month
