Strictly: Tribute and Amy Dowden Exit Backlash

News summary

Shirley Ballas paid an emotional tribute to dancer Michael Wentink, 46, whose death was confirmed by partner Ralf Lepehne, who said Wentink had been quietly battling depression. In week two of Strictly Come Dancing the judges saved Chris Robshaw and Nadiya Bychkova in a dance-off and eliminated Amy Dowden and Thomas Skinner, a decision that prompted sympathy for Amy given her recent cancer treatment and injury setbacks. Viewers reacted angrily to a new split results-show format and to leaked week-two results online, with many calling for the BBC to revert to a live Saturday results show to avoid spoilers. Anton Du Beke also delivered a touching on-air nod to late head judge Len Goodman during the live broadcast.
