Mrs Brown's Boys actress, Jennifer Gibney, is the second contestant to leave Strictly Come Dancing.

The Judges said Jennifer appeared more relaxed during Movie Week, as she mimed along to the words in her Mamma Mia-inspired Foxtrot with partner Tristan MacManus. However, guest Judge Donny Osmond felt the performance was too safe, and she scored 23 out of a possible 50.

In the Results Show, she returned to the Dance Off for the second week in a row. This time against pop star Simon Webbe. After both couples danced again Darcey said: “I think both couples upped their game 100% tonight but the couple I’d like to save is Simon and Kristina”.

Craig and guest Judge Donny Osmond agreed and with three of the Judges concurring automatically meant that Jennifer would be sent home.

On leaving Jennifer said: “Before this, I didn’t know how to dance. I wanted to learn how to dance and I now know how to Jive, how to Waltz and how to Foxtrot, however badly!” Adding that her dance partner Tristan was now “one of the family.”
