HOPING to sizzle on the dancefloor Wirral TV chef Simon Rimmer slipped on a Hawaiian shirt for his performance on Strictly Come Dancing.

Simon and his partner Karen Clifton's Samba to Barry Manilow's Copacabana failed to impress the judges and saw judges award 19 points.

This meant the pair were ranked last on the leaderboard once again.

However, Simon survived another week as Good Morning Britain presenter Charlotte Hawkins jived her way out of the competition.

She battled against Eastenders star Davood Ghadami in the dance-off who performed a Viennese Waltz to Say You Love Me by Jessie Ware.

The judges unanimously voted to save Ghadami and his partner Nadiya Bychkova.

Elsewhere on the show singer Alexandra Burke was awarded the first round of 10s of the series from judges. 

Simon said he was 'genuinely surprised' when he got through to the next round.

Strictly Come Dancing continues on Saturday at 6.35pm on BBC One.
