The pair found themselves in the dance-off against Jamelia and Tristan MacManus, after the judges' scores were combined with the viewers' votes.

Gallacher and Cole performed their Charleston to Postmodern Jukebox's version of 'Bad Romance', while Jamelia and MacManus jived to The Rocky Horror Picture Show's 'The Time Warp'.

Craig Revel Horwood, Darcey Bussell and Bruno Tonioli all voted to save Jamelia and MacManus, sending Gallacher and Cole home.

Head judge Len Goodman said he agreed with his fellow judges' decision.

It marked the first time that a female celebrity has been eliminated from this year's show, following four successive male exits.

Jamelia found herself in the dance-off for the second consecutive week and for the third time this series.

After her exit, Gallacher said that the show has been a "wonderful experience" and claimed Jamelia deserved to stay in the competition more than her.

"I did my best but it was time to go. My Strictly highlight was the Viennese waltz, it was a wonderful week and it went really well," she said.

"I just want to say thank you to Brendan who's been incredible and I really mean that. He's an incredible friend and dancer and so supportive."

Cole added: "I've seen somebody, who had no dance experience and not really any performing experience, turn it around and become quite a performer. I'm so proud of that last performance and I'm proud of you."

The results show also featured a performance from James Morrison, who sung his new single 'Demons' and was joined on the dance floor by Kristina Rihanoff and Gleb Savchenko.

Strictly Come Dancing airs next weekend on Saturday, November 7 at 6.30pm and Sunday, November 8 at 7.15pm on BBC One. The results show will feature a tribute to Remembrance Day.
