Pop princess Pixie Lott has made a surprise exit from Strictly Come Dancing when she became the 10th celebrity to leave the competition.
Despite being one of the favourites to win after triumphing in Saturday night's 'waltz-a-thon', her partner's propensity to illegally lift her higher and higher was enough to kick her out of the quarter finals.
She nailed second place in Saturday's show, but the audience votes earned her a spot in the dance-off alongside Simon Webbe and Kristina Rihanoff.
The Boys And Girls singer repeated her Cha Cha Cha to the Glee Cast version of Love Shack.
Judge Len Goodman had criticised the performance on Saturday for containing illegal lifts and awkward legs.
The dance put her third at 35 points in Saturday's show, but she was redeemed by her performance in the group 'waltz-a-thon', when all six couples waltzed on the floor at the same time in a bid to win all-important extra marks from the judges.
The pair were pipped to the post in the dance off by Blue singer Simon's American Smooth to Heartache Tonight by Michael Buble.
It was the first and last time Lott and her partner Trent Whiddon faced elimination in this year's competition.
Craig Revel Horwood chose to save Lott and Whiddon, saying: 'It's quite tough at this stage in the competition, but I am going to save Pixie and Trent.'
