Bellingham out of dance show
Lynda Bellingham has been voted off 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The 'Loose Women' presenter and professional partner Darren Bennett lost out in the dance-off to 'Coronation Street' actor Craig Kelly and dancer Flavia Cacace.
The couples had both scored 24 for their earlier performances -- higher than former model Jo Wood and Brendan Cole or boxer Joe Calzaghe, dancing with Kristina Rihanoff, who were both awarded just 20 points.
After dancing again, the judges were divided by the two performances, with Craig Revel Horwood and Alesha Dixon both opting to save Bellingham.
Bruno Tonioli chose Kelly, as did Len Goodman, who as the head judge has the deciding vote if a tie arises.
Earlier in the evening, Laila Rouass and Anton du Beke appeared to have put their race row - which saw the dancer call the actress "a paki" after she had a spray tan - behind them, scoring the evening's best marks for their foxtrot, narrowly pipping Zoe Lucker and her partner James Jordan to the top of the leader board with 34 to the 'Footballer's Wives' star's 33.
Praising Rouass, judge Craig said: "Classy. Confident and absolutely comfortable to watch."
However, in an apparent move to take the pair out of the spotlight, their appearance in front of the judges was cut short, with not all the panellists getting chance to give their comments.
Troubled singer Amy Winehouse made her TV comeback on last night's show, singing backing vocals while her goddaughter Dionne Bromfield performed a rendition of 'Mama Said'.
