Shayne Ward became the latest celebrity to leave Strictly, after finding himself in the dance off.
The former The X Factor champ was given his marching orders alongside pro partner Nancy Xu.
After his fate was declared by the judges, Shayne said: “I just want to say, you guys up there [the other contestants in the Clauditorium] are a dream.
“Every single day, coming in here and seeing you guys you helped me so much.
“I want to say thank you to the audience as well, for always being amazing for us all. This has been, honestly, one of the best things I’ve ever done.”
He added: “I’m proud that I made it to eight weeks as a novice dancer. A massive thank you goes to this incredible human right next to me [Nancy], who has put so much fire in me and made me believe that I can actually achieve more if I let myself go.
“I’m sorry it didn’t work out to the end, but I’m super proud that I got to meet you [to Nancy] and dance with you, so thank you.”
His pro partner Nancy also praised her partnership with the former Coronation Street star and said he should be “proud” of himself.
She said: “I’m beyond proud of this dance partnership. Shayne from week one until this point, every second you put your feet on the dancefloor you improved yourself.
“You’re a deep thinker, you always doubt yourself, you never believed yourself, but I never ever questioned you.
“When I watch you, I feel proud because I’ve turned someone who has never ever danced in their life into an amazing dancer. You should believe in yourself.
“I adored this partnership.”
The dance off
Shayne and Nancy found themselves in the dance off against GoCompare star Wynne Evans and Katya Jones during the eighth results show of the series.
This meant that both couples had to perform their routines again.
Shayne and Nancy took to the dancefloor with their Rumba to Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper.
While Wynne and Katya performed their American Smooth to Grace Kelly by MIKA, and the judges voted unanimously to save them.
