ANOTHER week and another celebrity seeing their time on Strictly Come Dancing come to end.
The curtains closed and the end credits rolled as Movie Week finished with judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke deciding the latest contestant to leave the show.
Who left Strictly tonight?
Former Coronation Street star Katie McGlynn and her dance partner Gorka Marquez became the latest couple to leave Strictly Come Dancing.
Saturday night saw John Whaite and Johannes Radebe put in a spectacular performance to narrowly miss out on a perfect score.
Their fantastic paso doble – dressed as Pirates of the Caribbean characters – earned them a 39 out of 40.
But Katie was eliminated after failing to impress the judges in their American Smooth to Cruella De Vil by Mel Leven.
And she becomes the second contestant to leave, after ex-EastEnders star Nina Wadia was booted off in week two.
Who was in the dance off?
Katie McGlynn and her partner Gorka Marquez were up against Judi Love and her partner Graziano Di Prima in dance off.
Once each couple finished their final dance off routines, it was then down to the judges to decide who they wanted to stay in the competition.
Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse both used their votes to save Judi and Graziano.
Anton then decided to save Katie, after declaring it the toughest part of the show.
That left it down to head judge Shirley Ballas to cast the deciding vote, choosing to keep Judi for at least another week – and send Katie home.
