Dr Punam Krishan and Gorka Marquez have left Strictly Come Dancing

The TV medic and her professional partner Gorka Marquez have left the competition after facing Shayne Ward and Nancy Xu in the dance off, with all of the judges opting to save the former ‘Coronation Street’ actor.

After Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke all confirmed they were voting for Shayne and Nancy’s Paso Doble over Punam and Gorka’s Tango, head judge Shirley Ballas agreed she would have chosen in the same way.

But despite her departure, Punam insisted she was “really proud” of herself.

She said: “I am really proud of myself. You know I’ve taken on something that’s so out of my comfort zone. The one thing that I’ve very much learnt is to say yes more, and that there is no point in your life when you can stop learning new skills.

“I’ve learnt more than dancing, I’ve learnt so much from Gorka. Everyone’s been so incredible and it’s just memories that I’ll take home forever and I am very proud. I’ve made my family very proud, I’m just really grateful…

“My kids are so proud, my parents, my husband, everyone. This is just one of those things that I have dreamt about for years and I think to have one of your dreams genuinely come true is just a surreal feeling. Week after week it’s been incredible, I’ve made friends for life and everyone’s just been so kind, so thank you.”

Gorka heaped praise on the GP for how much she had progressed during their short time on the show.

He said: “It’s been incredible, it’s been a fantastic six weeks. I’m very proud of what she has achieved. She’s a GP and a Mum. She had never danced before and I think she improved week by week.
