Failing to creep up the leaderboard by the end of the night, the scores from the first week were combined with those from the second week, and the public vote was opened. Unfortunately, Thomas and Amy, who had a total of 29 points, found themselves in the bottom two, alongside England rugby star Chris Robshaw and his Strictly partner Nadiya Bychkova.<\/p>\n
The two couples took part in the first dreaded dance-off of the season, and ultimately, the judges chose to save Chris and Nadiya, sending Thomas home. Reflecting on his Strictly experience, Thomas said: “I\u2019ve loved it. I\u2019ve never danced before, and my stay was short, but Amy\u2019s amazing. It’s been great fun and I’ve enjoyed it.<\/p>\n
“I can\u2019t really dance that well, but I\u2019ve had fun! Thank you, Amy – sorry that we haven\u2019t done too good, \u2018cause you\u2019re a different class.” Overcome with emotion, Amy also shared: “I\u2019ve got to know the real Tom, and he is adorable. He\u2019s looked after me.<\/p>\n
“We\u2019ve laughed so much. We\u2019ve worked so hard and a Glitterball would have been amazing, but what I\u2019ve learnt in the last few years is happiness, health, and being alive is more important than anything.”<\/p>\n
She added: “I lost all confidence as a dancer – but walking into the room with you with a massive smile and a laugh, you brought me back and, honestly, thank you.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
