'GEEKY' MARK FOSTER VOTED OFF STRICTLY

Team GB Olympic flag carrier Mark Foster has become the sixth contestant to leave BBC1's Strictly Come Dancing.

The 38-year-old swimmer scored just 16 points out of 40 for his pasodoble routine – dismissed as "grotesque" by judge Craig Revel Horwood – on Saturday's show.

On Sunday the six-time World Championship gold medallist lost in a dance-off with Andrew Castle when all three judges moved to keep the GMTV presenter on the show.

"You look like a god, but you dance like a geek," judge Bruno Tonioli said.

Foster praised his dance partner Hayley Holt after learning of his fate.

"Hayley's the best and I've had the best time - I'm sorry I let you down," the swimmer said.
