Bethany Antonia and Nancy Xu left Strictly Come Dancing in the week seven results broadcast on Sunday, November 8, 2026. The BBC confirms that they lost the dance-off to Cach Mercer and Maddie Ingoldsby after a two–two judges’ split, with Shirley Ballas holding the deciding vote and saving Cach and Maddie.

The Series 24 results programme aired on BBC One at 7.10pm GMT. It also marked Remembrance Sunday with a professional routine honouring women’s contribution during World War II and music from Gregory Porter. The completed result now answers the question left open before Sunday’s broadcast: Bethany and Nancy’s competition has ended, while Cach and Maddie progress.

November 8 week 7: Anton and Shirley saved Cach and Maddie; Craig and Motsi saved Bethany and Nancy. Shirley held the deciding vote, so Bethany and Nancy left.

A two–two split ended with Shirley’s deciding vote

Both couples repeated their week seven routines: Bethany and Nancy’s Foxtrot to Leona Lewis’s Bleeding Love, then Cach and Maddie’s Waltz to That Ain’t You by Mulaa Joans. Anton Du Beke saved Cach and Maddie; Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse each saved Bethany and Nancy. Shirley then chose Cach and Maddie.

That gave each couple two judges’ choices, but the BBC identifies Shirley as the judge with the deciding vote this week. Her choice resolved the split in Cach and Maddie’s favour. This explains the outcome recorded by the broadcaster without inferring how many viewers voted for either couple or why an individual judge preferred a performance.

Jaime Winstone’s injury bye is a separate route to week eight

Jaime Winstone’s absence followed a different decision. The BBC says injury prevented her dancing with Carlos Gu that weekend and granted the pair a bye to week eight. It expressed hope that they could dance again then; the bye itself is confirmed, while her recovery and next performance are not guaranteed by that wording.

The distinction matters when reading the remaining line-up. Cach and Maddie kept their place through the dance-off decision; Jaime and Carlos received an injury bye. Bethany and Nancy are the pair eliminated in the November 8 results. Combining an absence and a competitive elimination into a single list of departures would misstate those decisions.
