She revealed, however, that she also would have saved Anton and Annette.
Being axed topped off a rough couple of weeks for Chris.
He was forced to change partners on the show when pro skater Vanessa Bauer was forced to quit after sustaining an injury.
He was then paired with Robin at the last minute, with the pair skating together for the first time on last week's show.
They had just 24 hours before that live show to train together.
Their second routine together tonight was well received by the judges, but many fans watching at home were unhappy that Anton scored higher.
Anton was the first out of all the celebs to skate this evening and achieved a score of 34 after all four judges delivered marks of 8.5.
