Strictly star wipes away tears as she speaks out after exit |

Strictly Come Dancing star Bethany Antonia wiped away tears as she spoke about her exit from the BBC competition.

The 28-year-old actor appeared on Tuesday’s (9 November) It Takes Two to discuss her time on the show alongside professional partner Nancy Xu.

Antonia and Xu were the sixth couple to be eliminated from the 2026 series. They faced Cach Mercer and his partner Maddie Ingoldsby in Sunday’s dance-off.

When asked what she would miss the most about Strictly after her exit, Antonia said: “Getting to spend every day with [Xu]… Everyone’s joy and getting to learn a new skill with my newfound bestie.”
