Strictly Come Dancing star Dame Sarah Storey has broken her silence after becoming the third celebrity eliminated from the show.
Her exit comes after two eliminations so far.
The Paralympian follows Melanie Walters and Chris Appleton in leaving the competition as it heats up.
Who left Strictly Come Dancing last night?
Last night’s results show saw Dame Sarah Storey and Julian Caillon leave the competition.
Dame Sarah found herself in the bottom two alongside Bethany Antonia and Nancy Xu.
During Saturday’s live show, Sarah and Julian scored 21 points for their tango to That Don’t Impress Me Much by Shania Twain.
But after finding themselves in the dance-off, the judges were left with the difficult decision of who to save.
Anton Du Beke, Motsi Mabuse and Craig Revel Horwood all opted to save Bethany and Nancy.
Had she been able to vote, Shirley Ballas would have saved Bethany and Nancy too.
That meant Sarah and Julian’s Strictly journey was over.
Viewers will get to hear from the pair on It Takes Two today (October 19).
‘Shorter than we wished for’
Soon after being voted off, Sarah took to Instagram to share an emotional message about her time on the show.
“Thank you for being the best pro I could have ever wished for @julian_caillon, you really are a wonderful and fabulous human and I so loved our time on the show,” she wrote.
“Shorter than we wished for, I will miss not learning a new dance with you tomorrow and trying to put all the tips and feedback into practice,” Sarah continued.
Taking celeb partner Julian’s offer up, she concluded: “PS I love your idea of a bike ride.”
In response, he wrote in the comments: “So proud of you and how much you’ve grown as a dancer!! Have loved spending time together, having a boogie and can’t wait to get some more rides in.”

Fans sad as Sarah and Julian face elimination
Sharing their thoughts on X, viewers said they were sad to see Sarah and Julian go.
One person commented: “Gutted for Sarah.”
Another wrote: “Awww Julian is out, one of my fave pros. Sad to see him and Sarah go.”
A third said: “So so gutted for Dame Sarah and Julian though, they were such a lovely partnership and will be missed next week.”
Meanwhile, another person said: “This was the right decision, both couples improved in the dance-off but Bethany’s routine had more content and her legs were much better than the first time.”
Another added: “It was the right couple to be eliminated, Bethany was better than Sarah.”
What happened on Strictly Come Dancing last night?
Saturday night’s show saw the judges come under fire over their scoring.
Lacey Turner and Shaun Wright-Phillips finished just one point apart, much to the frustration of some viewers.
Many fans felt Lacey had been the stronger dancer and should therefore have received a higher score than Shaun.
“I don’t get how Shaun and Lacey both got 7s, and Lacey was way better than Shaun tonight,” one fan fumed.
“Lacey getting the same scores as Shaun from Craig Motsi and Shirley? What planet are these judges on? Lacey actually danced in time?” another wrote.
