Strictly: Wigan's Kym Marsh goes head to head with Bros singer Matt Goss in this weeks dance-off

The one-time Garswood Primary pupil was up against Bros singer Matt Goss in Sunday night’s dance-off.

The former Coronation Street actress and partner Graziano Di Prima impressed the judging panel on the BBC One show with the second performance of their samba to Volare by Gipsy Kings.

After both couples had danced for a second time, the judges delivered their verdicts, with all four opting to save Marsh and Di Prima.

Craig Revel Horwood commented: "I think both couples went up a major notch - I mean, Matt, you went fantastically mad in that, I loved it, and Kym, you were really great in that. But the couple I would like to save is Kym and Graziano."

Motsi Mabuse agreed, saying: "From that dance-off only, I have decided to save Kym and Graziano."

Anton Du Beke said: "I would just like to say you should both be thrilled with the way you performed in the dance-off, it's the most high-pressured of situations.

"Matt - that's your best performance of the whole series, you should be really proud of yourself.

"But the couple with the higher technical ability, I think for me, going through is Kym and Graziano."

Meanwhile, head judge Shirley Ballas, who has previously disagreed with her fellow judges' decisions, said: "I also felt that both couples were 100 per cent committed, spot-on performances today.

“But the couple with a little bit more technical skill was Kym and Graziano and that's who I'd save."
