Caroline and Johannes bow out in Week Five
Every weekend we sadly have to say goodbye to another fabulous couple, and in Week Five it was Caroline Quentin and Johannes Radebe who departed the dancefloor.
The pair performed a hilarious Cha Cha Cha on Saturday night to Rescue Me by Fontella Bass, thoroughly entertaining the Judges and fans alike. However, once their score of 24 was combined with the public vote, Caroline and Johannes found themselves in the Dance Off for the first time.
They faced stiff competition from Maisie Smith and Gorka Marquez, who were in the Dance Off for the second week running. Once both couples had performed again, the Judges chose to keep Maisie and Gorka in the competition, sending Caroline and Johannes home.
When making his decision, guest Judge Anton du Beke said: "Well I thought both couples danced beautifully. I think they are beautiful couples danced fabulous routines. One couple was a bit cleaner than the other couple - there was a couple of mistakes in there. So the couple I would like to save are Maisie and Gorka."
Fellow Judges Craig Revel Horwood and Shirley Ballas agreed with his decision, sealing Caroline and Johannes' fate.
As always, Caroline and Johannes remained positive as they said their goodbyes.
When asked if she'd fulfilled her childhood dream of being a dancer, Caroline said: "Yeah, in a way slightly more than that, because I have had the honour and privilege of working with some of the greatest dancers this country has ever known. I mean I really believe it, I think they are absolutely fantastic. But of course my greatest gift coming on this show is this man [Johannes]."
Johannes was also grateful for his time with Caroline, saying: "Oh my gosh, what a woman, thank you, thank you again, thank you, thank you, thank you. I don’t know what to say, because it was a beautiful one, I had a beautiful journey with you, thank you my darling, thank you."
We've absolutely loved watching this fantastic duo perform every weekend, have you? They'll be together for one last time on tomorrow's It Takes Two on BBC Two at 6.30pm!
