Melanie and Aljaž are the second couple to leave Strictly Come Dancing 2026

In the second results show of Strictly Come Dancing 2026, Melanie and Aljaž left the competition following a dance off against Shaun and Alexis.

Both couples performed their routines again. Shaun and Alexis performed their Quickstep to I’m a Believer by The Monkees, before Melanie and Aljaž performed their Charleston to Ooh Ahh… Just A Little Bit by Gina G.

After both couples had danced, the judges delivered their verdicts:

Craig Revel Horwood chose to save Shaun and Alexis.
Motsi Mabuse chose to save Melanie and Aljaž.
Head Judge Shirley Ballas chose to save Shaun and Alexis.

Anton Du Beke – who this week was the judge with the deciding vote – saved Shaun and Alexis, meaning that Melanie and Aljaž would be leaving the competition.

There’ll be immediate reaction from the Strictly dance floor in Strictly: Lights Up, hosted by Abi Clarke and Tyler West, available on BBC iPlayer from the moment the results show credits roll. Melanie and Aljaž will then join Ellie Taylor on Strictly – It Takes Two on Monday at 6:30pm on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer.

Sunday night’s results show also saw Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke take to the floor as part of a special group performance, with two teams of professional dancers going head-to-head for glory in a Ballroom vs Latin showdown – see more info here. Also, there is a performance from musician Jalen Ngonda of his song ‘Burning Temptation’, accompanied by professional dancers Neil Jones and Lethabo Monametsi.

The remaining thirteen couples will take to the dancefloor next week, when Strictly Come Dancing returns at 6:15pm on Saturday 17 October for Icons Week! All episodes of the 2026 series so far are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
