Mark Little has left ‘Dancing On Ice’.
The ‘Neighbours’ actor and his professional skating partner Brianne Delcourt became the first skating couple to leave the ITV show after losing out in the skate off to Ryan Sidebottom and Brandee Malto.
Speaking after his exit, Mark said: "I did my best. I’d never have imagined I’d do any of that so I’m really really happy. We’ve had a great time. I’ll continue to skate – it’ll be my new past time. It’s a gorgeous thing to do."
Brianne added: "You’ve learned a new skill. You can teach your grandchildren."
It was a clean sweep as all four judges – Jason Gardiner, Ashley Banjo, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean – chose to save Ryan and Brandee.
Jason said: "Watching that, it’s amazing to see one of you upped your game from the main show skate. It was a better skate so the couple I’m going to save is Ryan and Brandee."
Whilst Ashley added: "I think that both of you have got a lot to do in terms of the wider competition but just basing it on the skate off, I think it was quite clear that I should save Ryan and Brandee."
Jane shared: "I’m saving this couple because there was a lot more skating and content."
Head judge of the week, Christopher, confirmed he would have voted the same: "Easy decision. Ryan and Brandee."
Earlier that evening, Ryan and Brandee scored 15 out of a possible 40 for their skate to ‘Crazy Crazy Night’.
Speaking after the performance, Brandee said: "It’s really challenging this height difference. It’s hard for him not to lean down because I’m so tiny."
And Ashley praised the pair for coming so far from where they first started.
He said: "You’ve come so far from where you started. I feel you deserve the 4.5. I feel like you’re a really fun guy and the routine felt it was forced fun."
