Strictly Come Dancing fans were left outraged as Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink became the latest celebrity to leave the series.
In a shock result, former footballer Mr Floyd Hasselbaink and his partner Lauren Oakley faced the dance-off alongside Amber Davies and partner Nikita Kuzmin.
During Saturday's Icons Week, Mr Floyd Hasselbaink and Ms Oakley danced an American Smooth to Purple Rain by Prince.
For their impressive routine, the pair scored a very respectable 30 out of 40 points, with the judges praising their performance.

Unfortunately, their success on Saturday evening seemingly wasn't enough to prompt fans to vote to keep the couple in the competition.
The judges were visibly surprised about both couples who found themselves in the dance-off, with Ms Davies and Mr Kuzmin having achieved 33 points for their Cha Cha Cha to Ariana Grande's Break Free.
After each performed their Icons Week routine once more, it was time for the judges to select who would go through to next week.
Craig Revel Horwood had already admitted ahead of the second performances "it is a bit of a shock," adding he has "no advice".

Following the dance-off, he commented: "The audience have put these particular couples here, where I don't think they belong.
"But I have to choose, I think, the better dancer and better dance of the evening, and that for me is Amber and Nikita."
Motsi Mabuse reflected: "I'm really speechless to see you both here," before also saving Amber and Nikita.
Shirley Ballas remarked: "Two exquisite professionals, two amazingly outstanding celebrities. For me, this is a little bit heartbreaking because they were both more at the top of the leaderboard.

"But judging on just this performance we've seen this evening, I will have to save Amber and Nikita."
Deciding judge Anton Du Beke revealed he would also have agreed with his fellow judges.

"No freaking way. Jimmy had so much potential and was improving every week, the voting this year is a mess. #Strictly," a second agreed.
