Gymnast Claudia Fragapane has narrowly missed out on a place in next Saturday's Strictly Come Dancing final as she became the 12th celebrity to depart the dance floor this season.
In Sunday's night's semi-final Fragapane got the boot after facing actor Danny Mac in the dance-off, but despite her exit she credited the show for boosting her confidence.
After hearing the news she said: "I can't believe I made it this far to be honest. Everyone is so lovely and I'm just so happy that I've made it this far and everyone has just been incredible people, and to come out and not be as confident as I was, I feel like a different person now, all thanks to this show."
All four couples left in the competition performed two routines in the semi-final.
Fragapane and her professional partner AJ Pritchard opted to perform their quickstep to When You're Smiling by Andy Williams in the dance-off, and Mac and his partner Oti Mabuse chose to repeat their American smooth to Misty Blue by Dorothy Moore.
The judges unanimously opted to save Mac, who has topped the leaderboard in previous weeks and was the first contestant in the history of the show to score a perfect 40 for a samba.
Paying tribute to Pritchard, Fragapane said: "Oh you have been absolutely amazing, you really have pushed me to the best of my ability. You have been so lovely to me and you've really boosted my confidence and it's all thanks to you."
Pritchard then told host Tess Daly: "I'm just so proud of her, so proud of how far you've come and just how confident you are now. Thank you."
After the dance-off, judge Craig Revel Horwood said both couples were worthy of full marks, before opting to save Mac and Mabuse.
His fellow panellist Darcey Bussell added: "Both performed to such an outstanding level and it makes it very hard to choose," while Bruno Tonioli also praised both couples but said Mac and Mabuse had "an edge in artistry and emotional impact".
Head judge Len Goodman said he was in agreement with his fellow judges.
Next Saturday, Oduba, Mac and singer Louise Redknapp will perform three routines in the battle to lift the glitterball trophy in the show's grand final on BBC One.
