Matt had found himself at the bottom of the judges' leaderboard on Saturday night, and his performance was praised slightly, but also met with critique.

Following the public vote, Kym also found herself in the bottom two alongside Matt and was forced to dance again with her pro partner Graziano, while Matt and dance partner Nadiya had to do the same.

As it came down to the judges' decision, they voted unanimously to save Kym and Graziano over Matt and Nadiya - a decision that moved the singer to tears as he became the third celebrity contestant to leave the dancefloor for good.

Head judge Shirley Ballas said: "I also felt that both couples were 100% committed, spot on performances today. But the couple with a little bit more technical skill was Kym and Graziano and that’s who I’d save."
