In a shocking dance-off, Paul found himself against JLS star JB Gill and his professional partner Amy Dowden.

Fans and the judges alike were left gasping when it was revealed that JB, arguably one of the stronger dancers on the programme, would have to dance again for his place in the contest.

It meant that Paul’s fate was seemingly sealed having previously been forced into a dance-off alongside Toyah Wilcox.

Paul and Karen performed their routine, a Samba to Car Wash by Rose Royce, but it wasn’t enough to win over the panel.

All four judges revealed they were in agreement in choosing to keep JB and axe sports star Paul following the dance-off.

As Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke all agreed to save JB, Shirley Ballas‘ vote was not required but she admitted to show host Tess Daly that she would have also chosen to save JB.

As the news began to settle on their exit, Paul told Tess: “It’s been really good.

“For anybody I talk to, I would say you’ve got to go on this show. It’s amazing – everybody.

“There’s a Tottenham fan over there called Lincoln and even he’s nice! It’s been amazing, honestly, amazing. I loved every minute of it, I’ve had a great teacher.”

He went onto add of his pro partner Karen: “She’s been amazing, absolutely amazing and I couldn’t wish for a better coach. I’ve loved every minute of it.

“I can dance now –  I’ve won because I can dance, I couldn’t dance before and I can half dance now. It’s a bonus, absolute bonus.” 

Speaking to Paul, Karen then told him: “Absolutely, you’ve been a joy. I’ve never giggled this much.

“My abs are really tight now. I am so proud of you. Every week you have showed up, you have improved.

“You’re what Strictly is about and I want to thank you for bringing such joy and just showing everyone that it is possible with a little bit of work and lots of giggles.” 

It means that the duo have just missed out on making it to Strictly’s famous Halloween week.

The remaining pairs will all be turning on the fear factor for some spell-bounding routines.

TOM Brady’s appearance on Fox NFL Sunday left fans confused – and maybe his co-stars too.

The 47-year-old former quarterback was part of Fox’s pregame show ahead of Week 7 action.

But Brady’s cameo came with a difference from his usual appearances on the show.

He is normally in a broadcast booth and talking back to the Fox NFL Sunday studio guests.

But on Sunday, host Curt Menefee beamed in Brady to the set via hologram.

A suited-up Brady stood in the Fox studio in between Jimmy Johnson and Michael Strahan.

And fans noticed how uncomfortable Terry Bradshaw looked stood next to Howie Long, Strahan and Brady.

“Jimmy Johnson and Terry Bradshaw seem very confused by hologram Tom Brady,” one fan said.

Another posted, “Jimmy Johnson has no idea what to do with this Tom Brady virtual appearance.”

Brady’s segment lasted five minutes before he was beamed back out of the studio.

Strahan then invited Johnson to move closer after Brady’s hologram took up his spot.

And New York Giants icon Strahan said, “The technology is very good expect for the fact Tom Brady is not bigger than me, I’ll tell you that now.”

Brady’s hologram appearance came ahead of him calling a Super Bowl rematch Sunday.

The 47-year-old joined Kevin Burkhardt and Erin Andrews at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

The top Fox team was on the broadcast for the Kansas City Chiefs against the San Francisco 49ers.

Brady sat down with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes for an interview to preview the showdown.

And the studio crew asked Brady for his thoughts on Mahomes’ evolution as a quarterback.

“Mahomes knows he has a great defence,” Brady said.

“He’s going to take what the defence gives him and he’s going to try and make all the right plays early in the game.

“The when he needs it, he’ll make the plays. But he’s doing such a good job managing the game and that’s his evolution.

“He was putting up monster touchdown numbers but the team has changed and lost some of it’s weapons.

“Because of that, he’s turned into a guy that is there to perform when it matters the most.

“To him it doesn’t matter if he gets four touchdowns – he ultimately wants to get the win.”

Brady won seven Super Bowls in his career while Mahomes has three to his name already.

“That’s how I evolved as a player,” Brady said.

“It became less about being in the MVP race and a Pro Bowler to ‘Am I good enough for my team to win today?’

“That’s rarified air because it gives you a chance to improve every single week and game.”

He said: “I’m looking for a job. And I’ve always wanted to work at McDonald’s but I never did.

“I’m running against somebody that said she did, but it turned out to be a totally phony story.”

“So, if you don’t mind, I want to work the French fry counter. How much are you paying me?”

Chatting with one worker, Trump said: “It’s a good job, isn’t it? Not bad. You have a nice owner?

“Be careful, he’s right there. Be careful. Eight years, that’s the end of that.”

Prepping a portion of fries, Trump said: “I love salt – wait a minute, I spilled some.”

Trump then suddenly threw some salt over his shoulder, saying: “I’m very superstitious.”

Serving his first drive-thru customers, Trump said: “This is not a normal situation, is it?”

He added: “Can you believe this? Look at this guy, he’s a MAGA guy all the way.

“What a good-looking family – how did you produce those good-looking kids?”

He told the family: “The food is all on Trump. It’s going to be the best – I made it myself. This is fun, I could do this all day – I like this job.”

Asked if he would order anything himself, Trump said: “I’m going to definitely have French fries for the plane.”

Trump tried out life as a McDonald’s worker while campaigning in the Philadelphia suburb of Feasterville-Trevose.

Posting on Twitter, Piers Morgan said: “This is one of the best political stunts of all time.”

LIAM Payne’s former girlfriend Danielle Peazer has revealed that she was in touch with the star in the weeks leading up to his death.

The One Direction star was found dead after falling from a balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina aged just 31.

Now, Danielle, who dated the star between 2010 and 2013, has broken her silence following his passing with a touching tribute.

Taking to Instagram to share a snap of them from when they were dating, Danielle heartbreakingly admitted she and Liam had remained on friendly terms since their split and had been in touch as recently as just a number of weeks ago.

Writing online, Danielle said: “Whilst we all take the time to navigate in a world without Liam, it’s important to remember that while he was adored by millions as a world famous musician for the last decade, he was also someone’s son and brother for more than 30 years, a friend to so many and more recently an uncle.

“His most important role and something he was the most proud of out of all of his monumental successes was that he was a father.

“The thought that there is a now a child growing up without one of their parents is heartbreaking and unfair.

“To Liam’s son Bear, as well as his parents and sisters, my love, thoughts and strength goes to you. The magnitude of this loss is incomprehensible and I will continue to support you in any way I am able to.”

Danielle continued: “Thank you for teaching me about the importance of setting boundaries, and that I should always protect my heart.

“Receiving a message from you a couple of weeks ago expressing your happiness for the love I found with Sonny and Mia is something I’ll cherish forever.

“I’m sorry your story didn’t end differently, and I’m sorry you didn’t ever get to share more of your magic with the world.

“Rest easy my friend. Love Danielle x.”

Since their relationship ended, Danielle has been involved with Capital FM star Sonny Jay with the pair sharing a daughter together, Mia.

Danielle’s words come as Argentine investigators suspect the drugs found in the tragic One Direction star’s Buenos Aires hotel room were sourced in a poverty-stricken neighbourhood 15 miles away.

An address in the city of Lomas de Zamora is said to match up with a man suspected of being involved in supplying the substance, sources say.

Police are investigating two hotel staff in connection with the deals including a cleaner at the CasaSur boutique hotel.

It comes as…

• Liam Payne’s devastated sister Ruth breaks silence in emotional statement
• Cheryl Cole’s mum & friends rally around her
• Britain’s Got Talent auditions resume as Bruno Tonioli replaces Simon Cowell
• Molly-Mae reveals friendship with Liam Payne in emotional statement
• Liam’s devastated dad ‘trying to bring his son’s body home’
• The star spent £10,000 in one night helping people on GoFundMe
• How Liam healed his One Direction rifts

It is believed they hid the drugs in a Dove Soap box which can be seen in pictures inside Liam’s room.

A pal of Liam’s last night told The Sun the star had been given the all-clear on a drugs test last Tuesday – the day before he plunged 45ft to his death from his third-floor balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel.

SAD LOSS

Liam’s family also released an emotional statement on his premature passing.

It read: “We are heartbroken. Liam will forever live in our hearts and we’ll remember him for his kind, funny and brave soul.

“We are supporting each other the best we can as a family and ask for privacy and space during this awful time.”

This was followed by an emotional tribute from his sister Ruth Gibbins, who posted a series of images and an open letter to Liam where she said “I’m sorry I couldn’t save you.”

Liam was in Buenos Aires for pal Niall Horan’s tour when he tragically plunged from the third floor on Wednesday afternoon.

Liam shared a post on Snapchat only minutes before his death and showed him and his girlfriend Kate Cassidy looking into a mirror.

The singer-songwriter was staying at Hotel CasaSur in the neighbourhood of Palermo.

Crowds of heartbroken fans have gathered behind a cordon outside the accommodation to pay tribute to the star.
