TV presenter Susannah Constantine is the first contestant to be eliminated from BBC One's Strictly Come Dancing 2018.
"I know it has gone a bit quick but I just feel so lucky to have had three weeks learning to dance with Anton (her partner, Anton Du Beke), and to have met all these amazing people, " said the fashionista.
"For me, they are the most important and I feel privileged to have met them all. And thank you judges, you’ve made the right choice. Lee and Nadiya were brilliant but Anton is still the king."
"It’s just all too brief," said 52-year old Du Beke. "I have had the most fabulous time with Susannah. She is going to be a great loss to the show.
"Sadly, someone’s got to go but I wish it wasn’t you, because you’re wonderful to be with. I’m going to miss spending time with you in the studio. We’ve had a great time, enormous amounts of fun. You’re wonderful. Thank you very much indeed."
Constantine, who is the 56-year-old star of What Not To Wear, failed to convince the judges in last night’s second instalment
The foxtrot she danced to They Can’t Take They Away From Me - a popular Frank Sinatra hit - scored the lowest marks of the night.
The judges awarded a mere 12 points out of a possible 40 to the dancing couple. Constantine would have been fervently hoping that the public vote would mean her avoiding the dance-off in tonight’s results show. No such lifeboat was to hand, however.
Susannah and Anton did their last dance to the Rod Stewart hit, The First Cut Is The Deepest.
Strictly Come Dancing continues next Saturday at 6.30pm on BBC One
