Strictly fans predict first star to be eliminated after scores give clue

Strictly Come Dancing fans believe they have worked out that Nikita Kanda is going to be the first star to get her marching orders after a disappointing start to the competition.

The presenter and her pro partner Gorka Marquez took to the dancefloor this weekend alongside the rest of the celebs, giving viewers their first good look at this year's dancers. But they failed to win over Shirley Ballas and co and got just 18 marks out of a possible 40.

Nikita and Gorka weren't right at the bottom of the leaderboard, with Les Dennis and Nancy Xu below them on 16. But many fans reckon it will be Nikita shown the door first.

A few remarked on her low scores, suggesting the writing was on the wall and saying that when people start being eliminated, she will get the chop. One person posted on X, formerly Twitter: "My instant week 1 prediction is that Nikita will be first out."

Another agreed: "I think the one at risk of going first will be Nikita (even though I think she seems lovely)." Someone else said: "Nikita looked nervous, I hope her dance next week is better because I love her partnership with Gorka and I think she has potential and I don’t want her to go out early."

"I HATE to say this after tonight but I’m predicting Nikita being first out next week," commented another fan. "Craig gives Nikita and Gorka a three?!?! Whaaaaaaaat?!?! I know it's only week 1 but come on!!!" posted someone else.

Many fans of the BBC ballroom show want to see Gorka make it all the way to the end and get his hands on the coveted Glitterball trophy. But there are already concerns that he may not manage it with Nikita as his celebrity partner this year.

"I’d love Gorka to win one day, but I don’t think Nikita will do it for him," worried one of the dancer's many admirers. "Nikita was probably the worst from the group dance last week so I hope Gorka can work wonders with her," said another person.

While Nikita and Les are languishing at the bottom of the leaderboard, Nigel Harman is sitting pretty at the top. The actor and his pro partner Katya Jones scored a whopping 32.
