LONDON (AP) -- The British public doesn't care much for Martina Hingis' dancing skills.

The five-time Grand Slam tournament winner on Saturday became the first celebrity lobbed out of Strictly Come Dancing, the new BBC reality talent show.

After coming in the bottom two when phone votes were added to the judges' score, Hingis and partner Matthew Cutler lost a dance-off against policeman-turned-crime-presenter Rav Wilding and his partner Aliona Vilani.

Hingis retired from tennis after getting a two-year ban in 2007 for testing positive for cocaine.
