Caroline Quentin and her partner Johannes Radebe have become the latest couple to be voted off this year's Strictly Come Dancing.
Despite scoring 24 out of 30 with the judges on Saturday night, the pair actually finished second bottom on the leaderboard due to a night of high marks all round.
Radio 1 DJ Clara Amfo had been cut adrift with 18 out of 30 on Saturday but the public stepped in to ensure her safety, instead putting EastEnders star Maisie Smith into the dance-off for the second week in a row.
After both couples took to the dancefloor again, the judges were unanimous in their decision to save Smith, in the process sending Quentin and Radebe home.
Reacting to the news, Quentin said: "I have had the honour and privilege of working with some of the greatest dancers this country has ever known.
"But of course my greatest gift coming on this show is this man. Do I get to keep him?"
Radebe then told her: "What a woman. Thank you, thank you again - it was a beautiful ride and a beautiful journey with you."
Strictly Come Dancing continues next Saturday at 7.15pm on BBC One.
