Susan Calman overwhelmed by messages from devastated fans

She is adored

Strictly Come Dancing waved goodbye to Susan Calman tonight, as she became the latest celebrity to leave this year’s competition.

The Scottish comedian and partner Kevin Clifton were defeated in the dance-off by Alexandra Burke and her partner Gorka Marquez.

And like the good egg that she is, she was speedy to hit up Twitter immediately the credits had rolled – to say a huge thank you to her supporters.

And she’ll surely be feeling the love tonight as thousands replied to her message, thanking her for the joy she brought them each week…

Susan seemed resigned to departing the show as soon as her name was called, joking that it was the most uneven competition up against Alexandra ever. Bless.

She sure has has picked up some loyal fans during her time on the show, though… many admitted to being in tears at her exit.

Earlier today Susan felt compelled to delete a tweet she posted following last night’s Strictly, after followers grumbled she’d given away the results of tonight’s elimination.

It seems some people just love to read more into something than is intended as the comedian’s message appeared perfectly spoiler-free to us.

Judge for yourselves…

So, she addressed the judges’ criticism and basically said it wouldn’t get her down and stop her enjoying herself when she’s dancing. So far, so… FINE!

However, some appeared to have inferred that she was talking about other dance floors – and they wasted not time ticking her off for giving the game away .

One felt because she had said “adored” – past tense – that was a clue she’d got the boot in the elimination (which is filmed on a Saturday and broadcast Sundays).

Susan felt sufficiently berated that she deleted the post and then wrote an explanation about removing it – social media’s hard work!

Poor Susan. She does cop for some totally unnecessary flak on her Twitter.

But she always addresses it with grace… such as last night when some individuals were sharing their negative opinions about her appearance on the show…

Well said, lass! Now, everyone play nicely with her. She’ll be a big loss to Strictly.
