Kai and Nadiya performed a romantic routine on Sunday

The duo became the sixth couple to leave the show on Sunday night after their Charleston to Too Darn Hot landed them in the bottom two along with Molly Rainford and her partner Carlos Gu.

The judges' decision to save Molly and Carlos was unanimous, with Craig Revel Horwood saying: "Well, the couple I'd like to save are a couple that I think danced better than they did on Saturday night in this particular dance-off and that couple is Molly and Carlos."

Motsi Mabuse added: "First of all I thought that dance-off was incredible. Both couples really, really just danced exceptionally well. I have decided to save Molly and Carlos."

On leaving the BBC programme, Ellie said: "I've literally had the time of my life. It’s been the most incredible experience - life-changing really… We went out there and danced our life out every single night and I loved it so much."
