Robbie Savage has become the ninth celebrity to leave Strictly Come Dancing.



The former footballer and his professional partner Ola Jordan were voted out of the BBC contest after falling into the bottom two with Jason Donovan and Kristina Rihanoff.

Savage and Jordan had danced a quickstep routine on Saturday night's movie-themed episode.

Of his Strictly experience, Savage said: "It's just been everything, you know. People didn't know who I was before I came to this show, I wasn't a nice person on the football pitch and hopefully I've changed people's perceptions of me. I am just a normal, decent guy."

Ola Jordan added: "Thank you so much. I have had such a brilliant time with you, teaching you. It's been brilliant, thank you so much."

Savage had previously said that his latest dance routine would be a tribute to his friend Gary Speed, who died last weekend.

Strictly Come Dancing returns next Saturday (December 10) at 6.30pm on BBC One.
