Craig decided to save Katie and Gorka, as did Motsi as she said: "Both couples gave their best performances, but one couple was a bit more convincing, so I'm going to go with Katie and Gorka

Anton said: "Well this is suddenly no fun anymore, you want a dance off to be the couple's best performance and it was, but for me the one who upped their game the most is Nina and Neil."

Head Judge Shirley said: "That was one of the closest fought battles, both upped their game and both were delightful to watch, but Katie and Gorka had more technical elements so I'm saving them."

When asked about her time on the show, Nadia said: "It's been really fun, thank you so much.

"Neil is incredible, thank you."

Nina and Neil left Strictly Come Dancing (BBC)

Neil said: "You've been a dream. Second partner on the show for me. I wouldn't have wanted anybody else.

"You've been fantastic and so much fun.

"Literally, we're like a married couple - you've got both husbands here tonight!

"It's been so much fun together, you said you wanted to dance and you've done two fantastic dances and I'm really, really, really proud of you."

But fans were left "gutted" as Nadia left the show, with many arguing she had much more potential.

Amy said: "I'm gutted Nina was voted out. I'm sure she could have gone on to be so amazing. Far too early for her to go although I didn't want Katie to go either, very difficult."

Rebecca Heath said: "Nina was ROBBED!!!! She was 100% better than a lot of the couples. Gutted."

Moviefeminist said: "Gutted for #Nina - didn't love the tango but she could have done great things on #Strictly. It's a very competitive year."

Angie Quinn said: "Ahh gutted Nina has gone. She's so gorg and wanted to see how she progressed. Robbed."

*Strictly Come Dancing continues on Saturday night on BBC1
