Wynne Evans became the latest celebrity to leave Strictly, after finding himself in the dance off.
The opera and radio star was given his marching orders alongside pro partner Katya Jones.
After his fate was declared by the judges, Wynne said: “It's been wonderful, I’ve got to say. I feel like it's what Strictly is all about.
“If I can come and do Strictly and last until week nine, then anybody can get out there and dance and have a brilliant time.

“Strictly is such a brilliant family, such a precious family, that I want everybody here in this room and at home to look after it for the generations to come because it is a wonderful, wonderful thing.”
His pro partner Katya also praised her partnership with the Go Compare star.
She said: “To be honest with you, the smile hasn't left my face since the first day of our training, since the day we got partnered up.
“You [to Wynne] have made this experience so joyous and so full of laughter for me.
"I'm sure everybody was jealous because you're the kind of guy that everybody wants in their life.

“You bring light, you bring laughter, you bring charisma, you fill up every room you walk into with those qualities.”
Moment Strictly's Katya Jones took swipe at 'feud' rumours - did you see it?
Wynne added: “To have been partnered with Katya has been amazing and coming every Saturday night to hang out with these guys [to fellow contestants in the Clauditorium], that's been wonderful.
“But to spend every weekday dancing has been just fantastic. I've grown so much and I'm so thankful to have met this person [to Katya].”
The dance off
Wynne and Nancy found themselves in the dance off against Montell Douglas and Johannes Radebe during the ninth results show of the series.
This meant that both couples had to perform their routines again.

Montell and Johannes took to the dancefloor and performed their salsa to Don’t Leave Me This Way by Thelma Houston.
While Wynne and Katya did a Charleston to Carmen Suite No. 1: 5. Les Toreadors by George Bizet.
The judges then unanimously decided to save Montell and Johannes.
