The judges scores from week one were added to Saturday's nights points and then combined with the public votes.

The two couples then danced again in front of the judges and they chose to save Katie and Gorka.

Head judge Shirley Ballas said Sunday's show was "one of the closest battles I think we've ever had in a dance-off".

Nina spoke about her time on the show: "It's been really fun, thank you so much. Neil is incredible, thank you."

Her dance partner Neil added: "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."

Sunday night's show also featured a dance routine by the fantastic professional dancers and a musical performance from singer songwriter Griff.

Now only 14 couples remain and next Saturday it's movie week, so time for lots of fantastic costumes and thrilling performances.
