SEE VIDEO Andrew Castle voted off Strictly Come Dancing

Presenter goes home after lacklustre performance

Strictly Come Dancing 2008 line-up unveiled: Andrew Castle

Andrew Castle survived the bottom 2 on Strictly Come Dancing last week

Andrew Castle became the seventh celebrity to be voted off Strictly Come Dancing last night.

The GMTV presenter, 44, was given the boot after his Samba failed to impress the judges.

‘Instead of Andrew Castle you’ve got to be more like a bouncy castle,’ Len Goodman, 64, said after his performance.

Bruno Tonioli, 52, was equally dismissive, saying: 'The Samba should have the excitement of the Brazilian Grand Prix – and this was a Brazilian grand flop: no bounce, poor hip action.’

Andrew, who injured his knee in rehearsals last week, apologised to the audience for taking away his dance partner Ola Jordan, 26, and her revealing outfits.

‘Every man and teenage boy must love her,’ he tells The Sun. ‘She’s such a fantasy figure; she’s beautiful.

‘I’m sorry that Ola will no longer be on the show but I think the catsuit might be returning.’

Andrew was in the bottom 2 with singer Heather Small, who the judges saved.
