Bunton misses out on dance final

Former Spice Girl Emma Bunton has missed out on a place in the final of Strictly Come Dancing after being voted out in the penultimate show.

Ex-cricketer Mark Ramprakash and rugby star Matt Dawson will now go through to next Saturday's final hoping to win the fourth series of the BBC One show.

Previous winners were Darren Gough, Jill Halfpenny and Natasha Kaplinsky.

The series sees celebrities paired with professional dancers and challenged to learn new dances in a week.

This week Bunton and the other contestants had to impress the panel of judges with their own versions of the Argentine tango, salsa, foxtrot and quickstep.

Ramprakash and his partner Karen Hardy scored the highest points of the series when the four judges awarded them 39 out of 40 for their Argentine tango.

I am really at tonights result and don't care who wins now!

I was really disappointed Emma was voted out last night too Maddy, she was the best dancer out of this years lot, she should be there alongside Mark next week. I don't care who wins now so long as it's not Matt Dawson.

NERVY STAR MATT GETS OUT OF STEP People

I don't think that Emma should have gone either. I often think that the female part of the dance seems harder than the male part, so Emma did really well.

I think she was the most consistent, but not the best. I agree with you about Matt Dawson though. Mark to win!

Mark positively SIZZLED during his Argentine Tango last night. Emma was robbed, really, but Mark is MY winner of the series.

I totally agreed with what Arlene Phillips said about Matt Dawson having "the sex appeal of a gnat".

Yeah, foinavon - I felt sorry for Matt, because he really had no sex appeal at all during a dance that completely requires it. What a difference when Mark was doing his version. The passion was raw then!!
