Coronation Street and Waterloo Road actress Katie McGlynn is the second contestant to leave Strictly Come Dancing as she faced Judi Love in the dreaded dance-off.
Both couples performed their routines again, with Love and her dance partner Graziano performing their Charleston to When You're Good to Mama from the musical hit Chicago.
McGlynn and her dance partner Gorka then performed their American Smooth to Cruella De Vil from Cruella, in a bid to impress the judges and remain in the competition.
After both couples had danced a second time, the judges delivered their verdicts.
Craig Revel Horwood chose to save Judi and Graziano and said: "Well I think both couples did really well, and improved in the dance-off itself, but there was one couple for me who shone brighter in the performance, and that is Judi and Graziano."
Motsi Mabuse chose to save Judi and Graziano, saying: "I think this is getting tougher and tougher every year, it was so close, it was a really hard decision to take, but I am just going to go with the overall positive picture, which was more dance intensive, so I am going to go with Judi and Graziano."
Anton Du Beke chose to save Katie and Gorka. "It really is not the nicest part of the show," he said. "I thought that both the couples danced very, very well, their performances they gave this evening were very, very strong.
"I just felt that one couple was cleaner than the other, and one couple made a very slight mistake. Because of that I am going to save Katie and Gorka."
With two votes to one, it was then up Head Judge Shirley Ballas to decide which couple would stay in the competition with the deciding vote. She decided to save Judi and Graziano.
Shirley said, "This is always a tough part of the job. Both couples gave it their very, very best, I didn’t see any mistakes from either one, both beautiful performances. I am going to go with the one that I felt had more edge and more rhythm to me, so I am going to go with Judi and Graziano."
When asked by Tess about their time on the show, Katie said: "I have absolutely loved my time, I am so happy I got to be Cruella, and dance with this amazing guy, I have loved every second of it.
"Thank you for being an amazing partner, we have laughed so much, and I get to walk away with an amazing friend. Thanks so much for teaching me in your funny ways, we have had so much fun."
Gorka was then asked if he had any words for his partner, Katie and said: "I have loved it, the love that she has for the show.
"I think talking for myself, and all the pros, when we come to the show, it isn't just about someone who can dance, it is someone who wants to learn, who wants to improve, and makes us love what we do, and makes our job enjoyable and easy. That’s what I had with Katie and I will never forget this experience, it’s been incredible."
Sunday night’s Result Show opener featured a dance from the Strictly professionals, inspired by 2021 film In the Heights. There was also a music performance from star of stage and screen Ben Platt, who performed You Will Be Found from the movie Dear Evan Hansen.
The remaining thirteen couples will take to the dancefloor next when Strictly Come Dancing returns on Saturday, October 16 at 7.00pm with the results show on Sunday, October 17 at 7:10pm on BBC One.
