Lesley Joseph became the fourth celeb to get the boot from Strictly Come Dancing, after losing a dance off to Daisy Lowe.

The Birds of a Feather actress has impressed the judges week after week, but her “skippy” tango didn't quite have the magic the judges were looking for - despite a mystical theme.

“Working with Anton has been an absolute joy,” Lesley said after the judges voted unanimously to save model Lowe.

““It’s been a wonderful journey and now its come to an end, and that’s fine.”

“You enriched my whole Strictly experience this year,” Strictly veteran Anton Du Bec told Lesley, before they danced their last dance to end the show.

Fans expressed their sadness at seeing the 'legendary' comedienne leave the ballroom.

Despite another classic Ed Balls-up (almost dropping his partner Katya Jones mid-lift), the former MP remains a firm favourite among the public - even if the judges aren’t so amused.

A tearful Ore Oduba and partner Joanne Clifton continued their hot streak this week, scoring four nines to top the leaderboard for the second week in a row, while a 'devastated' Laura Whitmore had to miss this week's dances due to an ankle injury.

Meanwhile, the judges dropped their silver paddles and grabbed their dancing shoes to get involved in tonight’s pro dance, a cracking department store number set to a song from the musical 'Thoroughly Modern Millie'.

Country music singer LeAnn Rimes provided the musical entertainment this week, performing her new single ‘How to Kiss A Boy’.

Next week things get spooky in the ballroom for a classic Strictly Halloween extravaganza!
