Speculation is swirling among Strictly Come Dancing viewers that professional dancer Luba Mushtuk may be planning to quit the show. Fans claim they spotted a "clue" during Sunday night's episode that convinced them she won't appear in the upcoming season.
Devastation on Display
Luba and her celebrity partner Adam Thomas found themselves in the bottom two, ultimately losing out to Angela Rippon in the dance off. Luba's emotional reaction to the result left some viewers believing she may have had an inkling that this was her last show.
One concerned fan wrote on social media, "Aww Luba looks like she’s in tears, maybe she won’t be back next year." Another viewer added, "Is it me, or did Luba look devastated when they were voted off?"
A Job Well Done
Despite the disappointment of their early exit from the competition, many fans praised Luba for her dedication and hard work. One viewer commented, "She took her role so seriously but with light-heartedness. I think she and Adam worked very well together and she really worked hard to get him to improve. Hope she gets a contestant next year too!"
Another fan expressed their sadness at Adam and Luba not making it to the iconic Blackpool episode, saying, "I enjoyed watching them every week and I loved their waltz and jive. Luba has done amazing, never bench her again!"
A Close Dance Off
Sunday's dance off was described as "the closest yet" as Adam found himself in the bottom two. Despite his rheumatoid arthritis and multiple errors in his final dance, Adam joked that viewers "wanted to see his dance again." In the end, the judges unanimously voted to save Angela, 79, sending Adam and Luba home.
