Earlier in the series, Krishnan and Marquez became the first competing couple in the show’s 20-year history to have performed to a traditional Bollywood song.
Krishan, whose parents moved from the Punjab to Glasgow in the 1970s told Strictly spin-off show, It Takes Two that she hoped her children would feel “really proud”, seeing her performing the couple’s choice routine to a Bollywood song.
She said: “Representation matters, so for me this is a huge moment.”
She admitted she is “gutted” to have been eliminated and said she enjoyed most of the experience.
She continued: “It is the most nerve wracking thing I’ve ever done, there’s no saliva in your mouth, the heart is racing – you can feel it pulsing through your eyeballs, and then the music starts.
“And the you have to face the judges, it is like getting your exam results in front of the whole country, that bit I just hated.”
