Last night TV personality Angela Rippon and her partner Kai Widdington said good bye for the last time.

Their departure follows last week, when news anchor Krishnan Guru-Murthy was eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing after a dramatic dance-off.

During the show, Krishnan and pro partner Lauren Oakley performed a samba to Bamboleo by Gipsy Kings, while Angela and her partner Kai Widdrington danced a paso doble to Hung Up by Madonna.
