Strictly’s Kevin Clifton moaned ‘I told you so’ after humiliating second-week defeat with Anneka Rice - The Sun, Thesun.co.uk

KEVIN Clifton had a humiliating Week Two exit in Strictly Come Dancing after partner Anneka Rice struggled with the Charleston.

The reigning champ, who won last year with Stacey Dooley, was overheard telling fellow dancers, “I told you so”, after the result of the dance-off was announced.

That was a nod to his pre-series prediction he’d struggle to get the TV veteran up to scratch on the dance floor.

Kevin and Anneka’s routine left the judges poking fun at the Kill Bill- themed dance, whichBruno Tonioli said they’d “slaughtered”, and which earned them just 11 points from a possible 40.

They lost in a dance-off toex-England goalkeeper David James, 49, and his partner Nadiya Bychkova, 30,

A Strictlyinsider said: “Kevin adores Anneka as a person but professionally he knew his chances of making another final were over, especially as she’s struggled with injury and fitness.

“Going out in the second week was humiliating for him. In his eyes he’s ‘King Kev’ – and he’s done phenomenal routines with his previous partners.
