Actor Greg Wise has become the third celebrity contestant to be eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing.

Wise and professional dance partner Karen Hauer, performing the Samba, found themselves competing in the dance-off against presenter Judi Love and her professional partner Graziano Di Prima, dancing the Waltz.

Judges Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke all chose to save Love and Di Prima, but head judge Shirley Ballas said she would have saved Wise and Hauer.

"Well, I counted all the mistakes and from what I saw I would have saved Greg and Karen," she explained.

Speaking after the result, Wise said: "I have had an amazing time. I feel unbelievably privileged and thank you all for having me."

Paying tribute to Wise's efforts, Hauer said: "It has been a blast. Thank you for the amazing lunches, thanks for the quality of work, and for being an amazing student. I have enjoyed our moments in the classroom, and just having fun with you. I've really enjoyed it."

The results show saw Westlife perform their new single, Starlight.

Strictly Come Dancing continues on BBC One on Saturday.
