Dr Punam Krishan has become the fifth celebrity to be voted off Strictly Come Dancing during a results show which professional dancer Amy Dowden missed due to “unforeseen circumstances”. Despite leaving the BBC show on Halloween week, the Morning Live resident doctor who is also a GP in Scotland, said she was “proud” of herself for stepping out of her “comfort zone”. Welsh dancer Dowden, who could not compete on Strictly in 2023 during her treatment for breast cancer, was absent from Sunday night’s results show after “feeling unwell” following the live show on Saturday.

A BBC spokesperson added: “Due to unforeseen circumstances, Amy Dowden was unable to be in tonight’s results show.” Sunday’s results show is filmed on Saturday night after the live broadcast on BBC One, in which Dowden and her celebrity partner, JLS singer JB Gill, glided their way to a score of 32 with their foxtrot to Dancing In The Moonlight by Toploader.
After it was confirmed Dowden and Gill had made it through to next week, the JLS star said: “Honestly, I’m beside myself, and Amy, of course, is going to be so happy.” Krishan and her dance partner Gorka Marquez faced the dance-off against former X Factor winner Shayne Ward and Nancy Xu following the public vote.
