The singer became the second celebrity to be booted from the BBC competition
Strictly Come Dancing star Toyah Willcox has issued a brutal dig towards former co-star Chris McCausland – giving a stern warning to the fellow celebrities.
Over the weekend, Willcox and partner Neil Jones faced the dance-off for a second week in a row against Paul Merson and Karen Hauer – with all four judges saving the former footballer.
Last week, fans were outraged that Willcox was saved over Olympian Tom Dean and Nadiya Bychkova – something which Jones had fiercely defended.
The couple joined It Takes Two host Fleur East where the Echo Beach singer seemed to make a dig at co-star McCausland.
The comedian made Strictly history by being the first blind person to take part and has blown the judges and viewers away with his commitment.
Whilst the star has only managed to sit in the middle of the leaderboard, McCausland doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon.

After discussing how they felt to be out of the competition, East asked: “You are such a tight-knit group as well this year, do you have any advice or tips for the other celebs?"
Willcox burst out laughing and clapping, before poising herself on the end of the sofa shouting: “If you don't want to do a dance-off, get rid of Chris!”
Cackling, she fell into Jones’ lap whilst he and East looked at one another, laughing awkwardly before the latter turned to the camera and winced.
“You are all going to have to face a dance-off,” Willcox said sticking the knife in further, before Jones quipped trying to make the comment sound nicer: “I think she has chosen her winner already.”

It wasn’t just Jones and East who noticed the jibe, as viewers quickly flocked to their X accounts, with one noting: “Was Toyah trying to throw Chris under the bus!!”
A second chipped in: "Was it panic I saw on their faces when Toyah said ‘Get rid of Chris if you don’t want to do a dance off ‘ …little does she realise Chris is a 100x better dancer than she was and he is there on merit."
A third fumed: "That was such a nasty dig Toyah just made at Chris. Malicious, vicious and jealous.”
"Toyah was a bit mean about Chris on It Takes Two,” a fourth noted.”
