Angela Rippon has praised the backstage heroes' as her place on Strictly Come Dancing came under fire. The veteran broadcaster impressed the judges on Saturday night (November 11) during her latest stint in the ballroom with her professional dance partner Kai Widdrington.
The pair were hoping to bounce back from being in the dreaded dance-off the weekend before with their Paso Doble to Madonna’s Hung Up. But during her dance, Angela slipped and the error was noticed by head judge Shirley Ballas.
Despite the mistake, Angela received high scores from the judging panel with Shirley saying the slip 'didn't matter' while fellow judge Motsi Mabuse told her: "This Paso is going to Blackpool," ahead of this Saturday's show, which will be held in the iconic Blackpool Tower ballroom.

However, it wasn't enough in viewers' eyes as the 79-year-old landed in the dance-off for a second week in a row, with her and Kai going up against Krishnan Guru-Murphy and his professional dancer Lauren Oakley.
Both couples had to reprise their routines again, including Krishnan and Lauren's samba to Bamboleo by Gipsy Kings, before the judges made their decision. Judges Motsi, Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke all opted for Angela while saying the dance-off had been close.
Motsi said she had been “undecided” and she and Anton both said their choice was about the “fundamentals”. Craig called Krishnan “magnificent” but hailed Angela for “miraculously” saving a kick, but in the end the judge chose the latter contestant. Head
