After her emotional farewell on last night’s episode of Strictly Come Dancing, Holby City star Chizzy Akudolu has shared her heartbreak again, on social media.
The actress gave a spirited performance, dancing the foxtrot, but ended up being voted out of the competition.

“Gutted I’m out of #Strictly Was so looking forward to doing #It for movie week…” Chizzy tweeted, before going on to thank her partner, Pasha Kovalev.
“I’ve enjoyed every minute of my time on #Strictly Except the elimination part… Massive thanks to this dude for making it exceptional !!”
Chizzy and Pasha lost the elimination dance off to comedian Brian Conley and his partner Amy Dowden, who danced a disco themed cha-cha.
After breaking down as she said her farewells on the show, Chizzy tweeted about how sad she was to leave – and the responses suggest the fans are almost as devastated.
“Gutted too. You were glorious. xxx,” replied one user, while others started a hashtag to show their support: “so beyond gutted, you were fab!! ☹️ we started tweeting #ProudOfChizzy for you, hope you see it. There is SO much love for you out here ✨❤”

Several people claimed the elimination was unfair, and that the judges chose the wrong contestant.
“I’m heart broken 💔💔💔 I feel the judges made the wrong choice 😞 #Strictly,” one fan tweeted.
“100% shouldn’t have been you! Think it’s ridiculous, you were deffo the better dancer out of that dance off and of a few other people! X”
The show continues on Saturday, as the 14 remaining couples compete in a Movie Special.
