Strictly Come Dancing stars can’t hide their delight as they arrive at hotel after nerve-wracking results show
Celebrities including Ore Oduba and Daisy Lowe looked like they'd had a huge weight lifted off their shoulders as they headed to their accommodation in London
HUGE smiles of relief were splashed across the faces of Strictly Come Dancing's Daisy Lowe, Judge Rinder and Ore Oduba as they returned to their hotels after a nail-biting results show which saw them survive the chop.
Instead, they witnessed Birds of a Feather actress Lesley Joseph booted out of the BBC show along with her bubbly dance partner Anton du Beke.
Model Daisy in particular seemed hugely appreciative to remain in the competition after battling with Lesley in the dance-off last night.
The pretty brunette sported a huge grin as she walked towards her London accommodation with Janette Manrara, the wife of her dance partner Aljaz Skorjanec.
The girls wrapped their arms around each other and looked to be having a cosy chat to settle the underwear model's nerves after the harrowing night's drama.
Meanwhile Ore, who topped the leaderboard on Saturday for a second time, couldn't hide his delight as cementing his place in the show.
He palled up with professional dancer Neil Jones - husband of Ed Balls' dance partner, Katya - as he enjoyed some post-show downtime.
TV's legal eagle Judge Rinder arrived alone yet he too looked like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders, while hunky Danny Mac retained his cool, calm composure as he lugged his bags inside.
It wasn't just the professional dancers who looked visibly happy the live show had ended.
Giovanni Pernice - who didn't dance due to an ankle injury to his partner, Laura Whitmore - still dressed up for the event in a smart black suit and white shirt.
Greg's on-screen other half, Natalie Lowe, also broke out into a huge smile as she headed home.

Last night saw Lesley and Anton repeat their fortune telling-themed Tango to Whatever Lola Wants.
The judges had given the couple a mediocre 24 after Lesley, 71, had messed up some of the steps in the routine.
Daisy and Aljaž also performed their dance Charleston to Happy Feet again. Their first attempt had been praised by the judges and had scored an impressive 32.
After each pair had danced again, all four judges chose to save Daisy and Aljaž.
Speaking about his reason, Craig revealed: “I love both couples for completely different reasons. But for me tonight, for precision, for an improved performance in this particular Dance Off, and finishing on time, the couple I would like to save is Daisy and Aljaž.”
Meanwhile Darcey chose Daisy and Aljaž because of the “cleanness and the quality of their dance”.
Bruno agreed, remarking: “Well I love both of these girls for many different reasons. They’re gorgeous look at them. But I have to really choose the stronger dance on every aspect – technique and performance. And for that reason I am choosing to save Daisy and Aljaž.”
The remaining ten couples will take to the dancefloor once more next week when Strictly Come Dancing returns on Saturday 29th October at 6.45pm for a Fright Night Halloween Special with the results show on Sunday 30th October at 7.15pm on BBC One.
