Danniella Westbrook has become the eleventh celebrity to be voted off this series of Dancing On Ice.

The actress and her professional partner Matthew Gonzalez found themselves in the skate-off alongside Gary Lucy and Maria Filippov after the judges' scores and viewers' votes had been added together.

Both couples then had to repeat their routines in an attempt to persuade judges Karen Barber, Nicky Slater, Jason Gardiner, Emma Bunton and Robin Cousins to let them join next week's final.

Although Lucy fell after his performance, head judge Cousins ruled that the stumble had happened after the routine had finished.

Barber and Slater opted to save Lucy, while Gardiner and Bunton plumped for Westbrook. Cousins, who had the deciding vote, decided to keep Lucy in the contest, meaning Westbrook had to leave the show.

After hearing the decision, Westbrook said: "You know what, Hayley's a fantastic skater, Gary's a good skater and Kieron - go get it. To come this far for me is amazing - thank you all for all your help and patience. It's been an absolute journey."

The news means that Lucy, Kieron Richardson, and Hayley Tamaddon will fight it out in the finale of Dancing On Ice, which begins next Sunday at 7.45pm on ITV1.
