Who left Dancing On Ice? Trisha Goddard in tears as she's first to leave show

Trisha Goddard became the first celebrity to leave Dancing On Ice tonight.

The talk show host, 62, landed in the skate-off with Lucrezia Millarini it all became very emotional.

Trisha, who ended up falling over during her skate last week, began to cry after her performance to Heather Small's Proud.

"I'm just glad i could do that," she told hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield. "I've been supported online by a lot of other cancer survivors I've turned to for support."

However, while she was hailed for her "brave" performance, all of the judges chose to save Lucrezia.

One tweeted: "Libby is amazing. Even learning to skating for anyone is hard, but to be blind and learning must be so difficult. Yet she's come out and smashed it, she's the best skater in the competition, even if she didn't have her disability that performance was brilliant #DancingOnIce."

While another commented: "So inspiring seeing Libby Clegg our on the ice with almost no vision! Can’t get over how difficult that must be but you wouldn’t have been able to tell with how confident she was! Well done Libby! #DancingOnIce @LibbyClegg @dancingonice #inspirational."

A third remarked: "Fair play to Libby on #DancingOnIce ! Going out there and skating must be so hard when you can’t see. She’s so good!!"
