Stephanie Beacham voted off Strictly Come Dancing...but it's Gabby and Kate who are in tears

Sports presenter Gabby Logan was said to be 'inconsolable' after placing just fourth, and both she and GMTV's Kate Garraway were left tearful by the judges negative comments.

Beacham was left in the bottom two, alongside former EastEnders star Letitia Dean, after dancing in last night's show. Both actresses had to repeat their performances, but despite some positive comments, Beacham's Quickstep failed to win over the judges and she was eliminated.

Each of the four judges gave Beacham six out of ten for her efforts, but only Arlene Phillips voted to save her.

She said: "Once an actress, always an actress. Your smile carried you around the floor.

"Your steps need to be as light as the feathers on your dress but they weren't."

Fellow judge Bruno Tonioli said: "You're an actress and you absolutely sell it. The footwork needs a bit of work but as first one out you did a great job."

Beacham took her defeat with good humour, which was in stark contrast to Logan who was said to be fuming after only managing fourth place on the leaderboard.

After her departure, Stephanie said: "It's been nothing but awful! It's such hard work...I am in admiration for these glorious dancers I really don't know how they do it."

But competitive Gabby, 34, was said to be so devastated at coming fourth out of the seven girls, that she had to be comforted by her mother.

Choreographer Arlene told her and partner James Jordan: "The rumba should be like dancing on hot coals but it was a bit coals to Newcastle via Leeds."

After the main show, upset Gabby turned to her mother Christine Yorath and rugby star husband Kenny.

But she could not be consoled and took her mother to her dressing room for more talks.

A source told The Sun: "Gabby was sure she'd be first and couldn't believe it when she got 29 out of 40. She was in a real strop."

And there was a surprise for injured Kate Garraway, who the public voted to keep in the show, despite receiving the night's lowest score of 15. But the judges harsh comments upset her, and she collapsed into floods of tears backstage.

"It was as heavy as lead, it was very heavy on the turns... it was very flat-footed," said Craig.

The boys, who were safe from elimination, were told by the judges they need to up their game next week, when they will have to compete against the girls to stay in the competition.

Judge Len Goodman said: "What I want to say is that the girls have thrown down the gauntlet I want you to be brave enough to come out next week and pick it up and fire on all cylinders."
