Tony Adams 'decided' to leave Strictly Come Dancing in a behind the scenes chat, before his exit was announced on camera by host Tess Daly.
While he has been at the bottom of the leaderboard nearly every week since the start of this year's Strictly, ex Arsenal defender Tony and pro partner Katya Jones had managed to evade the bottom two, as viewers and plenty of Gunners fans picked up their phones to keep him in the competition.
The England centre back found himself languishing at the bottom of the Strictly standings again on Saturday, after his and Katya's jive to Land of a Thousands dances received a lukewarm response and low scores from the judges. This left him and Katya relying heavily on public support and, after viewer votes were counted, they weren't enough to keep the couple out of danger.
