Strictly Come Dancing<\/a>\u2018s Halloween Week saw the departure of comedian Judi Love from the 2021 line-up,<\/a> after the judges decided to save swimmer Adam Peaty in Sunday\u2019s dance-off.<\/p>\n Judi had to miss a week due to testing positive for COVID-19, with her Cha Cha alongside pro Graziano Di Prima landing her in the bottom two for the third time in the competition.<\/p>\n And it seems the Loose Women panellist will be sorely missed among her fellow contestants, including Dragons\u2019 Den entrepreneur Sara Davies<\/a>, who sat at the bottom of this week\u2019s Strictly leaderboard<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cDo you know what, the close-knit group that we\u2019ve got is unreal,\u201d Sara told fellow contestant Dan Walker<\/a> on BBC Breakfast earlier this morning. \u201cAnd Judi was such an essential part of that and I was so pleased that she got to come back and do that dance.\u201d<\/p> She added: \u201cAnd I know she\u2019d been struggling all week \u2013 it just gave her that little bit of closure, but I was distraught to see her and Adam in the bottom two.<\/p>\n \u201cI was like, \u2018Do you know what, I can\u2019t win either way \u2013 either way one of my best friends is going home and it\u2019s just not going to be the same this week.’\u201d<\/p>\n Dan also revealed that the trio stay in the same hotel on Friday nights, with some of the other contestants popping in as well. He said that Judi was a \u201cfounding member of the hotel club\u201d, adding: \u201cWe all know that somebody has to leave each week but [Judi] has been such a bundle of fun and laughs.\u201d<\/p>\n By Lidia Molina-Whyte Published: Monday, 01 November 2021 at 12:00 am Strictly Come Dancing\u2018s Halloween Week saw the departure of comedian Judi Love from the 2021 line-up, after the judges decided to save swimmer Adam Peaty in Sunday\u2019s dance-off.
