Mollie Pearce picked up 30.0 thanks to her routine to The Greatest Showman tune ‘This Is Me’, whilst Anton Ferdinand bagged the highest score of the series with 34.0.
However, the competition came to an end tonight for Sir Steve tonight, who was voted off the show thanks to the judges’ score and fan vote.
Speaking after his elimination, Steve said that he wasn’t going to miss the “falling over”.
However, he gushed over his “amazing” time on the show and his skating partner, Vicky Ogden.
