Strictly Come Dancing star dealt crushing blow hours before live show

A celebrity is tipped for trouble this weekend as one star will make their exit from the competition in the fan-favourite programme.

On Friday’s episode of spin-off It Takes Two, host was joined by a panel to discuss anticipations for the upcoming live show.

Sports pundit became the topic of debate when guest Matt Richardson offered a scathing prediction about his performance.

This weekend, audiences will watch Paul and his dance partner tackle a Salsa with hopes to outdo their initial week one score of 17.

Fleur showcased snippets of Paul’s rehearsals before questioning guest Sian Welby on whether Paul should aim higher in the competition, reports .

Radio presenter Sian Welby suggested that a surge in scores could drive Paul’s competitive spirit due to his footballing background.

But Matt wasn’t buying it, bluntly stating: “I just don’t think he’s going to be getting much higher scores, I mean come on.

“I’m going to put some money on it, I do know. I think that’s about as good as it’s going to get!”

In contrast, fellow guest Will Njobvu maintained optimism, believing Paul might shock viewers with his progress.

Matt couldn’t help but chuckle dismissively: “Absolutely not.”

Despite his firm critiques, Matt indicated another contestant might be first in line to depart the dance floor.

The discussion swiftly shifted to , who is presently languishing at the bottom of the leaderboard with a score of 12.

Matt admitted: “I’m not confident, I think Toyah shouldn;t cancel her December holiday, that’s how I feel.”

Sian chastised him for his harsh remark, while Fleur was left stunned, responding: “Savage!”

Will disclosed his belief that she could be a dark horse and might end up near the finale.

Matt further commented: “I think she’s at risk this week, if she doesn’t do really well she could potentially be going.”
