Jody Cundy has become the third celebrity to depart the dancefloor in this year's Strictly Come Dancing after facing Eddie Kadi in the dreaded dance-off.
The Paralympic champion and his partner Jowita Przystal ended up with the lowest score on Saturday night after scoring just 19 points for their salsa to Samba de Janeiro by Bellini, while comedian Eddie Kadi and Karen Hauer left some judges disappointed with their American smooth, scoring 24 points.
After both couples performed their routines again, all four judges decided to save Kadi and Hauer.
Craig Revel Horwood said: "For improvement and musicality I would like to save Eddie and Karen."
Motsi Mabuse agreed, saying: "For me it was a very clear decision, one couple was much, much stronger. I would love to save Eddie and Karen."
Anton Du Beke also chose to save Eddie, saying "there were a couple of mistakes" with the other couple, while head judge Shirley Ballas added: "I agreed with the judges I would have saved Eddie and Karen".
Cundy told host Tess Daly he had "an absolute blast" on the show.
"You know what, when I signed up for this I thought what an earth am I signing up for and we did that first live show and I absolutely loved every second of it," he said.
He was full of praise for his dance partner Przystal. "And just being able to dance and do something I've never done before and get completely out of my comfort zone and with this amazing person," he continued.
"She doesn't lose any faith, doesn't lose anything, motivates me on to do more and more. So I've had an absolute blast."
Przystal spoke similarly highly of Cundy, saying: "I cannot even describe how proud I am of you Jody, cause from Day 1 till now, it's enormous improvement.
"And I hope from now on, when you go out, when you hear the music, you're not going to hide anywhere. You're going to go on that dancefloor and you're going to give it all.
"And I hope, one day when you look back at all of this, you will say to yourself I'm proud of myself, because that will be my biggest achievement."
During Saturday's show, actor Layton Williams smashed this year's record by achieving a score of 37, the highest of the series so far.
The remaining twelve couples will take to the dancefloor next when Strictly Come Dancing returns on Saturday 21 October at 6.35pm, with the results show on Sunday 22 October at 7:15pm on BBC One.
