"Matt Di Angelo has warned that he does not want to receive &amp;quot;sympathy votes&amp;quot; from Strictly Come Dancing viewers. The actor admitted that he may be seen as the underdog when he goes head-to-head with bookies&amp;#039; favourite Alesha Dixon tonight, but insisted that he only wants to get support for dancing well. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t want to be thought of as an underdog,&amp;quot; Matt told The Sun. &amp;quot;I want people to vote for our performance, not just give us a sympathy vote.&amp;quot; However, Matt, who received a perfect score of 40 from the judges for his waltz last weekend, insisted that he has not given up hope of winning the dance contest.  &amp;quot;I picked out Alesha to make the final from the beginning,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I think she&amp;#039;s a fantastic dancer. I didn&amp;#039;t think we had a chance of winning - but now who knows!&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
