Michelle Tsiakkas disqualified from pro challenge in Strictly Come Dancing

In the United Kingdom, Michelle Tsiakkas, a professional dancer on the show Strictly Come Dancing, faced significant challenges this season. Recently, she was disqualified from the pro challenge segment of the show, which was particularly disappointing following her earlier exit from the competition alongside her partner Jamie Borthwick. This disqualification stemmed from a performance where Michelle attempted to execute Cha Cha Cha steps. Despite managing to perform 11 steps in 30 seconds, unfortunately, none were counted due to an issue with her footing. This resulted in heartbreak for the young dancer, who expressed her distress during a live segment on It Takes Two, hosted by Janette Manrara. The disappointment didn't end for the professional dancers on the show, as Katya Jones, another pro dancer, also faced disappointing results with only three out of 17 steps counted in her performance of the same challenge. These events have illustrated the challenges that participants face in high-stakes competitions like Strictly Come Dancing, where even skilled performers can experience setbacks. In the wake of her exit and disqualification, Michelle took to Instagram to reflect on her journey with Borthwick, highlighting their hard work and emotional journey together throughout the competition. The social media post revealed her deep appreciation for their partnership and the personal growth they shared, despite the unfortunate outcome of their time on the show.
