Fans of Strictly Come Dancing were shocked as Irish presenter Angela Scanlon missed out on a place in the semi-finals.
The Joyrider author gave it her all in the dance off against Bad Education star Layton Williams, with the judges finding making the call difficult as the competition gets fiercer and fiercer.
Judges Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke chose to save Layton Williams and professional Nikita Kuzmin.
It was the first time in the dance-off for both celebs.
Speaking to Tess Daly after her elimination, Angela said she was gutted to be leaving the show, a sentiment that was echoed by viewers who were sad to see her go.
"It’s been honestly incredible, I’m gutted, really gutted that it’s finished now, but it has been the most wonderful experience," she said.
"I have made the best friend in this man," she said of her professional dance partner Carlos Gu.
"We have had so much fun, he is such an incredible guy. He has supported me and picked me up and made me laugh so much."
"I don’t know what to say, it’s been magical honestly – all of those people up there. My husband at home, my two little girls and all my friends."
Viewers shared that they would have loved to see her continue along in the show and secure a place in the finale episodes.
"'I'm gutted that Angela & Carlos are out of Strictly. Angela, you have been an absolute joy to watch. Your partnership has brought the best out in Carlos imho.
I've loved watching you both & I'm thankful we got to see you for 10 weeks," said one.
"Toughest dance off so far but absolutely Gutted for @angelascanlon she smashed it! Will really miss her in the show. Her transformation on the dance floor has been inspirational," another added.
A third said: "Thank you @angelascanlon and Carlos. You have fought so hard to stay in the competition. I’ve loved your dances and partnership. Sorry to see you go.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us."
