Gallacher and her professional dancing partner, Brendan Cole, were sent home from the competition after the dance off against Jamelia and Tristan MacManus.

Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman present the tense dance drama from the Strictly ballroom, as the remaining ten couples compete to lift the highly coveted Glitter Ball trophy. Last week, TV presenter Kirsty Gallacher became the fifth contestant, and the first female star, to be eliminated from the competition after losing a dance off on last Sunday night's spooky episode of the show. Gallacher and her professional dancing partner, Brendan Cole, were sent home from the competition after facing the dreaded dance off against Jamelia and Tristan MacManus. The judges are pictured below on last Sunday night's cobwebby edition to mark Halloween.
The Jonathan Ross Show
10.20pm UTV Ireland
Tonight, Jonathan's guestd include Joan Collins (pictured), Sheridan Smith, Danny de Vito and Ariana Grande. Collins declares on the show that her late sister Jackie Collins did not want people to know about her illness and did not want to be pitied. She told the actress that she was fighting the disease, and the sisters had planned to spend Christmas together in Hawaii with their families. "She kept it from most of her family," Collins says. "She kept it from our brother who lives in England and she only told her three daughters. She wanted to carry on just as she always had. So since she found out that she had got it, she wrote five books - five books in seven years. She went to Australia twice; she went to New York three times," the star tells Ross. "She came over to London for my investiture in March. She came over to London again nine days before she died - she did Loose Women. She was phenomenal, a phenomenal woman."
James May's Cars of the People
8.00pm RTÉ 2
The redoubtably 1970s-haired May (pictured) downsizes to explore the weird world of the microcar. yep, it were austerity and fears of congestion which led to European tragicomic disasters in the shape of Britain's infamous three-wheelers - Del Boy anyone? - French deathtraps and German absurdities. James takes to the battlefield to settle one of the greatest rivalries in car history and travels to Japan for an urban race between a state-of-the-art micro sports car and the best-selling vehicle in history. What I want to know is when will he downsize that hair?
