Strictly Come Dancing: Helen Skelton ‘can’t wait’ to see what Tyler West does next as DJ is axed from BBC show

Helen Skelton has honoured fellow Strictly Come Dancing star Tyler West following his elimination from the BBC show.

Radio DJ Tyler, 26, from London, and his professional dance partner Dianne Buswell, 33, scored 35 from the judges on Saturday night for their Salsa to KC & The Sunshine Band Megamix at Blackpool Tower Ballroom.

However, the pair were later eliminated from the series after the public vote saw them in the dance-off against singer Molly Rainford and professional Carlos Zu, who have now been saved in three dance-offs.

Following Sunday night’s result show, Helen took to Instagram with a snap showing herself alongside Tyler, professional dancer Neil Jones and a member of the Strictly crew.

The mother-of-one wrote: “@tylerwest you light up every room. Heart of gold. Smile of the century. Positivity that knows no bounds. Can’t wait to see what the next chapter brings for you.”

Helen added that Dianne “hit the nail on the head” in reference to the Australian dancer’s Instagram post which said Tyler “lit up the room and dance floor”.

Dianne, who has danced on the show for six series, wrote: “Between your smile,presence and torch collection 🔦 my gosh you lit up the room and dance floor 💗 I am forever grateful for being the lucky girl to be picked to dance with you.
