Strictly Come Dancing has returned to our screens on Saturday and it is now the second week of the 2022 series.

Voting opened for the show on Saturday evening and BBC viewers have found out which couple was the first to be eliminated tonight.

The voting process has changed this year with the introduction of a QR code but voting online without the QR code or by phone are both still options for those who want to keep their favourite Strictly couples out of the dance-off.

Since no voting or elimination was done last week, the scores have been carried over but the dancers still needed your votes to remain in the competition.

  1. Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu = 34
  2. Richie Anderson and Giovanni Pernice = 32
