Who left Strictly 2024? Third celebrity to be voted out revealed
Another couple has left the competition, after a tumultuous journey.
The fourth week of this year's Strictly Come Dancing has now been and gone, with one of the celebs saying their goodbyes in today's (Sunday 13th October) results show.
In the end, it was Nick Knowles and his partner Luba Mushtuk who left the ballroom, after finding themselves in the dance-off against Shayne Ward and Nancy Xu.
Nick and Luba had landed in 12th place out of 13 on Saturday's leaderboard, while Shayne and Nancy were in seventh.
Both couples performed their routines again, with Shayne and Nancy dancing their Cha Cha to Ain’t No Love (Ain’t No Use) by Sub Sub feat Melanie Williams, and Nick and Luba performing their Charleston to Rain on the Roof from the film Paddington 2.
Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke all chose to save Shayne and Nancy, with Shirley Ballas saying she would have done the same if the vote had come to her.

Nick said of his time on the show: "I've really, really been surprised by how much I've loved doing it, and by two things that happen. One is how much you care each week, and the other is how much you don’t want to let down your partner.
"The only reason I could do this is simply because of Luba’s changes, she's been amazing."
Luba added: "I’ve never met someone as determined as you, and I remember you saying that if you do your best, you’ll be very happy. I think you did more than your best. Thank you."
Nick then said of his partner: "Luba’s been amazing and just been so fabulous every day.
"And I should say thank you also to all the background staff, the physios, all the people that have actually got me through this week, and to all of my fellow competitors who have been absolutely astounding, beautiful people.
"There are some amazing dancers up there, and I will love watching the rest of the series."
