Strictly Come Dancing: Carol Kirkwood is a box office flop during a disastrous Movie Week
BBC WEATHER girl Carol Kirkwood may have looked like Oscar winner on the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom tonight, but her Quick Step to the South Pacific classic Wash That Man Right Out Of My Hair earned her nothing but a Razzie from the judges.

Grinning like a cheshire cat throughout her bouncy number with partner Pacha Kovalev, the 53-year-old beauty took to the floor in a busty floor length royal blue gown as she clung onto her Russian leading man to gracefully glide along the dance floor.
Sadly, her Quick Step could only muster a dismal 17 points on the leaderboard and was met with a mixed response from the panel.
Len Goodman provided a glimmer of sunshine to Carol's rainy parade and praised the blonde bombshell for her efforts.
He gushed: "I must say that routine had far more content than I've seen in previous weeks. And you know what, I love that you just come out here and you enjoy yourself and when you're enjoying it, you make me enjoy it.

Bruno Tonioli was less impressed, and used more weather-related puns to express his disappointment.
He said: "Well it wasn't quite a tropical heat wave was it darling? But more of a luke-warm breeze.
"Look, Quick Step is like running on hot coals and you looked like you were shuffling on damp sand. The foot work was not as technically correct as it should have been."
When host Tess Daly asked: Any happy talk form you Craig?
The resident Scrooge, unsurprisingly replied: "Sadly, no. Limp, lame, bad and very lacklustre I'm afraid darling."
Craig Revel-Horwood called the performance 'lacklustre'
Thankfully, Tess moved swiftly on to Darcey, who was delighted by Carol's cheery performance.
"I think you achieved a lot," enthused the English rose of the panel.
"There was so much more dance content, as Len was saying, and it is very difficult when your feet are doing so much. I know there were a few mistakes but you lifted us; you made us happy and that's very important.

The judges gave Carol just 17 points
Following the judges' comments, bowing down to his partner, Pacha said: "I am absolutely prod of her, she was flying out of there like a butterfly and that's all I wanted."
But will the public save Carol from becoming a box office flop?
