## What Is Strictly Come Dancing?
Strictly is a dance competition shown on TV in England. Famous people dance with professional dancers and show different dance styles. Every week, the audience and the judges decide who stays and who leaves the competition.

## What Happened This Week?
This week, famous actress Melanie Walters and former footballer Shaun Wright‑Phillips faced off on the dance floor. Melanie, with her partner Aljaž Škorjanec, performed an energetic dance called the "Charleston." Shaun, with his partner Alexis Warr, performed a fast‑stepping dance called the "Quickstep."

## The Judges' Decision
After the dances, the judges voted. Motsi saved Melanie, while Shirley, Anton and Craig saved Shaun. Because the judges voted to keep Shaun, Melanie was the one who had to leave the competition. This means a second celebrity was out of the show.
