GOALKEEPING legend Peter Shilton couldn’t save himself from the boot as he was kicked off Strictly Come Dancing last night.
His Charleston with partner Erin Boag was derided by the judges, resulting in the lowest score - a paltry 17 out of 40.
The judges’ scores left Shilton and Destiny’s Child singer Michelle Williams at the bottom of the leaderboard.
But the combination of the judges’ scores and viewer votes meant it was Shilton and Boag who were the ones to say goodbye to the show last night.
Shilton said: “I’ve had a fantastic time, but I’m disappointed for Erin as I didn’t dance as good as I could have.
“I’m going to miss the spirit amongst the competitors - it’s been great. I won’t miss the judges, obviously! I’ve been taught by the best in the business.’’
Next week the contestants will perform either the Viennese Waltz or an Argentine Tango.
