Shayne Ward has become the seventh celebrity to leave the BBC One dance contest alongside professional dance partner Nancy Xu
Strictly Come Dancing viewers were left heartbroken for Shayne Ward as he shared the poignant reason why he had wanted to reach the show's Blackpool special.
Prior to the judges' vote, Shayne said of his position in the bottom two: "I'm gutted, I'm not going to lie. I'm going to do everything I can by coming out here and giving Nancy everything I have. One thing I want to do is be able to get to Blackpool so my mum can see me dance at least once. So that's all I can do!"
Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse both chose to save Shayne and Nancy. However, Anton Du Beke chose to save Wynne and Katya. With two votes in favour of Shayne and Nancy, the deciding decision came down to head judge Shirley, 64, who decided to save Wynne and Katya, meaning Shayne and Nancy would sadly be leaving the competition.
