Seann Walsh has said he was furious with himself for messing up his last Strictly Come Dancing routine.
The comedian and his professional dance partner Katya Jones became the fifth couple to get voted off the current run of the dance competition after losing to Graeme Swann and Oti Mabuse in the dance-off.
Speaking on spin-off show It Takes Two, Walsh said: "That is the most angry I've been afterwards because I knew the dance and I knew I could do it.
"When I did the jive I was walking into the jive going, this is not going to work.
"On Saturday I started going, we've got this, and I messed it up and I was really angry at myself."
"And then I had to get eliminated looking like a man that had fallen from a chimney - it was so embarrassing," he added, referring to his Halloween-themed outfit.
The controversial contestant and his partner were unanimously voted off by the judges after a run on the show which saw them make headlines for an off-screen kiss.
The pair became embroiled in a highly publicised "Strictly curse" controversy over the kiss, which was captured on camera following a night out.
It cost Walsh his relationship with girlfriend Rebecca Humphries, and the dance partners made a public apology before performing a "dance of shame" following the revelations.
There was clamour from some critics for the pair to be sent home from the show, but they returned to the dance floor for several weeks with unromantic routines.
After a low-scoring Viennese waltz - a return to a more tender dance - the pair faced a dance-off where they lost out to Graeme Swann and Oti Mabuse.
Following his exit, Walsh said: "When you watch it and hear people at the end say this has been the best experience in my life . . . you don't really believe, but this has been without a doubt the best experience of my life. Probably bar the last few weeks.
"But generally speaking, from the beginning it really was. I can't believe it, it's been amazing."
He addressed his partner following their exit, saying: "It's an absolute miracle that I've gotten this far. I've been Neo from The Matrix, I've been used as a set of steps and even Craig a few weeks ago called me hot, it's been a dream come true and that's because of you."
Jones, who said she is happily married to fellow dancer Neil Jones, thanked Walsh for the time they had together on Strictly.
She said: "It wasn't easy but thank you for your commitment every single day. We did 12 hours, it was amazing and I'm so proud of you from day one when you couldn't get your right from your left and now delivering dances like that that. Thanks for making me laugh a lot."
The remaining ten couples will take to the dance floor next week when Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC One on Saturday at 7.05pm.
