Robbie Savage gets marching orders from Strictly Come Dancing

Ex-footballer Robbie Savage got the boot from Strictly Come Dancing tonight.

The star, and Daily Mirror Sport columnist, said he thought the show had boosted his reputation.

"It's just been everything you know," he said.

"People didn't know who I was before I came to this show, I wasn't a nice person on the football pitch and hopefully I've changed people's perceptions of me.

"I am just a normal, decent guy."

Savage and dance partner Ola Jordan miss out on the semi-finals with their last dance being a quickstep to Reservoir Dog's Little Green Bag.


It was between them and Australian actor Jason Donovan after the public voted them in the bottom two, following last night's Hollywood themed show.

Donovan's brush with the axe came as a surprise after he and dance partner Kristina Rihanoff put on a stunning Singing in the Rain fox-trot that judges had placed third on the leaderboard, seven points ahead of Savage.

BBC One's Alex Jones escaped the firing line despite judges ranking her among the bottom two pairs for her Pretty Woman routine with partner James Jordan.

Next week's semi-final will broadcast at 6.30pm on Saturday on BBC One.
