Jessie Wallace sobs after Strictly Come Dancing disappointment

Actress said to be broken-hearted over judges' scores

Jessie Wallace was very upset to leave Strictly Come Dancing

Jessie Wallace is reported to have fled the BBC studio in tears on Saturday night after her poor score on Strictly Come Dancing.

The ex-EastEnder, 37, was given 19 out of 40 for her Quickstep – which judge Arlene Phillips described as more suited to the football pitch than the dance floor.

‘Jessie started crying when she went backstage after her performance,’ a source tells The Sun. ‘She was really disappointed with herself, and the judges’ comments.

‘After the live show ended, she went outside to get some fresh air and there were more tears. She kept saying, "I haven’t done enough to stay".

‘Producers then had to go after her and persuade her to come back inside to film the results show.’

Jessie, with partner Darren Bennett, was placed in the bottom two with singer Heather Small, 43, who beat her in the dance-off.
