There were tears as Will Mellor and Nancy Xu narrowly missed out on a place in the Strictly Come Dancing final tonight.
The couple were axed from the show after a dance off between the couple and Fleur East and her dance partner Vito Coppola. It was the first he had been the couple had been in the bottom two and judges struggled to agree who should be given a place in next week's final.
In the end it came down to head judge Shirley Ballas to give the casting vote who favoured Fleur East in tonight's show. Shirley said the final decision was "by far the most difficult decision" she felt she has had to make and in the end her choice came down to "micro details".
