Former Family Fortunes host, Les Dennis, has become the first celebrity to bid farewell to the Strictly Come Dancing dance floor in the 21st series of the hit BBC One show.

The 69-year-old entertainer found himself facing off against Nikita Kanda during Sunday's nail-biting dance-off, following the first public vote of the season.

During Saturday's episode, Les Dennis and his dance partner, Nancy Xu, performed to the classic tune "Rock The Boat" by The Hues Corporation.

But, their routine failed to impress one of the show's notoriously tough judges, Craig Revel Horwood, who awarded Dennis a meager score of two points.

This marked the lowest individual score of the entire episode, leaving the pair with a total of just 15 points from the judges – the lowest judges' scores of the evening.

This week, the judges' scores were combined with the scores from the previous week, along with the results of the viewers' votes.

Fans of the show will undoubtedly miss Dennis's presence on the dance floor, as his journey on Strictly Come Dancing came to an end.
