Nick Knowles became the latest celebrity to leave the show, after finding himself in the dance off.
The DIY SOS star was given his marching orders alongside pro partner Luba Mushtuck.
After his fate was declared by the judges, Nick said: “I’ve really, really been surprised by how much I’ve loved doing it and by two things that happen.
“One is how much you care each week, and the other is how much you don’t want to let down your partner.
“The only reason I could do this is simply because of Luba’s changes, she’s been amazing.”
A tearful Luba said: “I’ve never met someone as determined as you, and I remember you saying that if you do your best, you’ll be very happy.
“I think you did more than your best. Thank you.”
When asked about his pro partner, Nick said: “Luba’s been amazing and just been so fabulous every day.
“And I should say thank you also to all the background staff, the physios, all the people that have actually got me through this week, and to all of my fellow competitors who have been absolutely astounding, beautiful people.
“There are some amazing dancers up there, and I will love watching the rest of the series.”
The dance off
Nick and Luba found themselves in the dance off against Shayne Ward and Nancy Xu during the third results show of the series.
It was after Nick only received 21 points from the judges and was second from the bottom of the leader board.
Both couples performed their routines again.
First up was Shayne and Nancy, who danced danced their Cha Cha to Ain’t No Love (Ain’t No Use) by Sub Sub feat. Melanie Williams.
