Alison Hammond has been kicked out of 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The 39-year-old television presenter competed in the dance off against Caroline Flack but lost out when all the judges opted to save the former 'Xtra Factor' host.
Speaking after her exit, Alison said: "Caroline smashed it tonight. I want her to go on and get to the finals. I think she's a wonderful dancer. In fact, I think all you guys are amazing. I've had the best time ever.
"And I'd say to anybody who's thinking of doing this show, just go and do it. Don't care what colour you are or what size you are, just rock it."
Alison was full of praises for her dancing partner, Aljaž Skorjanec.
Speaking to the dance professional, she gushed: "To be honest with you, from day one when I got you, I thought I'd won. I did feel like a winner.
"So thank you for being so patient and so kind and being absolutely amazing. And I really, genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, love you as a friend."
Aljaž, too, celebrated his dancing partner's success and admitted that it definitely wouldn't be the pair's last dance.
He told 'Strictly Come Dancing' hosts Tess Daly and Zoe Ball: "I'm extremely proud ... I can't describe how much fun and laughter we had from the very first day. I'm definitely going to miss her going back to rehearsals. I'm gonna miss her a lot. And that definitely wasn't our last dance."
The remaining contestants will travel to Blackpool next week to perform at the iconic Tower Ballroom and evictee Alison even joked she would join them there.
She said: "I'm still coming to Blackpool, I don't care what anyone says. I'm rocking up, I'll be in the audience."

Paul Akister has been eliminated from the 'X Factor'.
The 25-year-old sang a heartfelt rendition of 'Clown' by Emeli Sande in tonight's (09.11.14) sing-off but he was booted out after receiving the least public votes.
Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh chose to save crooner Jay James whilst Mel B and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini saved the former pub singer.
Paul was visibly upset after hearing his fate and was unable to talk.
His mentor, Mel, only spoke to criticise the public's decision.
She said: "He is incredible. That's wrong."
Paul impressed the judges this year when he sang 'Jealous Guy' by John Lennon at auditions. He also appeared on the show last year, where he reached Louis' judge's houses stage.
Meanwhile, Paul was previously forced to defend himself against comments made by Simon that he was "complaining" about his song choice.
Speaking ahead of yesterday's (08.11.14) live show, he said: "It looks like I'm miserable, but I'm not. I'm just worrying about what they're going to say.
"Obviously I suffered a knockback last year and didn't get to live shows, so this year I'm constantly thinking. And when I'm thinking my face just goes still.
"I should be smiling, but I'm just concentrating. But now I'm just going to go out there and have a good time."

James Jordan has defended his wife Ola Jordan over claims she bullied Steve Backshall.
Ola, 32, and Steve, 41, were paired together on the BBC reality show 'Strictly Come Dancing', but recent reports have claimed Steve is unhappy with how he's being treated by his professional partner, who's been accused of bullying.
The claims have prompted an angry response from Ola's husband James, 36, who tweeted: "You wanna write b******t about @The_OlaJordan the sweetest person in the world. I'll give you something to write about #keepaneyeonmytweets (sic)"
Later, he added: "Going to the gym for a few hours to blow off some steam!"
James's relationship with the BBC soured after he was axed from 'Strictly' earlier this year, but he and his wife have already received lots of support from other celebrities.
Former professional footballer Robbie Savage - who danced with her in 2011 - described Ola as a "great teacher and a pleasure to work with".
Meanwhile, Chris Hollins, who won the series dancing with Ola in 2009, said: "That's not the Ola I know."
BBC bosses have refused to comment on the bullying allegations.

Katie Hopkins has been offered a record fee to join 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
The 39-year-old TV personality - who made her name in 2006 on the BBC reality show 'The Apprentice' - is said to have agreed to appear on the show, having been offered more than the £400,000 reportedly offered to sex-swap boxing promoter Kellie Maloney.
A 'Celebrity Big Brother' insider told the Mirror newspaper: "Undoubtedly she will clash with some of the other housemates and generate loads of publicity for the show.
"She has been approached previously, but it looks like a deal has been reached this time."
The next series of 'Celebrity Big Brother' is due to begin in January, but show bosses have so far declined to confirm or deny whether Katie will be appearing on the programme.
Last month, Lord Alan Sugar claimed ex-'Apprentice' contestants Katie and Luisa Zissman are "of no interest to anybody".
He told Radio Times: "They'd go to the opening of an envelope if they got an invitation. They have their Andy Warhol moment, thinking it's going to make them famous, but very few have actually succeeded. Before long they're of no interest to anybody."

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini has been offered a new 'X Factor' contract worth at least £2 million.
The former 'Girls Aloud' star - who's returned to the judging panel this year alongside Mel B, Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh - is understood to have been paid £1.4 million for the current series of the show, but she is being offered a pay rise to secure her services for the next series.
A source said: "Normally negotiations don't start until after a series has finished, but it's clear the two girls have been popular and are both keen to stay on next year.
"Obviously they have successful singing careers of their own too though which are going from strength to strength at the moment, so they are in line for a pay boost to keep them both on board."
The source told Mirror Online: "Their chemistry has been great from the very beginning and they've both made it clear that they'd like to keep that pairing going - which suits producers too.
"There are going to be more serious discussions over the coming weeks and hopefully a deal will be finalised early next year - but it's only a case of ironing out the details."

Jay James says singing "saved his sanity" after injuring himself in the Navy.
The 31-year-old 'X Factor' hopeful has opened up about the time he was forced to leave the Navy - where he was working as a physical training instructor (PTI) - after he tore cartilage in his knee aged 21.
He explained: "I just didn't know what was going on. My head wasn't on straight, it was all over the place, and I was dealing with so many emotions - panic, anger and loneliness.
"The thing that saved my sanity in the end was music.
"I found a guitar that I'd bought months earlier as a drunken joke and started playing."
Although he has praised Help for Heroes - a charity that aids wounded servicemen and women, which didn't exist at the time of Jay's injury - the singer admitted that he felt "totally lost" when he discovered that he had been replaced by a new PTI while he was awaiting surgery on his knee.
He told The Sun newspaper: "When you join the military, there's a pride that's instilled in you that you want to do everything you possibly can to serve your country and do whatever you can to make a difference.
"But when you lose that, when you can't serve, it's incredibly hard to deal with. I felt totally lost."

Ben Haenow started downing vodka as a teenager to escape depression.
The 29-year-old 'X Factor' hopeful has admitted that he begin binge drinking when he was 14 years old as he struggled to deal with life in a broken home.
The former van driver - explained how he was just four years old when he was forced to watch his mum Rosanna, 59, juggle three jobs following her divorce from Ben's dad Mick, which left Ben in a spiral of depression.
He said: "As I got older, I couldn't handle it and used to drink a lot. I was 14 years old and just necking a bottle of vodka a day until I was sick and paralytic."
While he failed to see the signs at the time, looking back now Ben says that he was almost certainly mentally unwell.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "It would be stupid to say I wasn't depressed. At the time the drinking seemed fine to me.
"It takes someone to say to you it's not normal, this isn't right, which is when you stop. But I just wanted yo get off my face.
"When we were young the big thing was glue sniffing but we didn't do that. I just preferred vodka. Physically and mentally it was bad. I was hungover and felt like s*** at school."
Ben then explained that he stopped drinking when he turned 18, and has since got back in contact with his father.
He shared: "It would be good to make peace with him."

Alison Hammond tried to use a gastric band to lose weight but her body "rejected it".
The bubbly television personality - who is currently competing on BBC One's 'Strictly Come Dancing' - has revealed that she once tried using a gastric band after watching the former 'This Morning' presenter Fern Britton lose weight after having the same procedure.
She shared: "I was offered a gastric band around the time Fern was and tried it because Ii wanted to lose weight. I didn't have a trigger to say I was full up, which is why I had it. But my body started rejecting it. I began to grow scar tissue around it.
After having it removed, Alison told the Daily Mail's Weekend magazine: "The doctor said, 'Normally it takes 15 minutes to remove a gastric band but yours took three hours because of all the scar tissue."
The 39-year-old star - who was paired with professional dancer Aljaž Skorjanec, 24, on BBC One show - now refers to herself as "fit fat" since taking part in the rigorous dance routines.
Alison said: "I'm a fit fat.
"I've got a cholesterol of 3.2 and my blood pressure is good so my stats are like an athlete."
The star - who has a nine-year-old son - admitted that she will "never" be able to slim her size 26 body to size ten.
She said: "Alison Hammond is never going to be a size ten. It's not going to happen."

Russell Kane gets mistaken for Nick Grimshaw "at least once a day".
The 34-year-old comedian has admitted people regularly think he is the TV and radio presenter and start talking to him about 'Sweat the Small Stuff' - which the Radio 1 DJ hosts alongside Rochelle Humes and Melvin Odoom - but doesn't mind too much because he thinks he's got the better deal.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "A young lad once came up to me going, 'Oh my god, I can't believe you're here, I really love that show you do with Melvin and that girl from the Saturdays.' So he was sort of halfway between giving me a 'Grimmying'. I get it at least once a day.
"I think for Grimmy it's not as much of a beneficial experience. He's obviously super cool and goes to fashion shows and has pop star friends and I'm just a k******d. So for me to get muddled up with him works in my favour really!"
Russell thinks Nick is probably not quite as laid-back as him about the pair being likened to each other because he is often seen at far swankier events.
He added: "It's got to be happening to him as well, if he's in a place where it's a comedy event he must be getting it in the other direction. He never tweets about it or anything so maybe he doesn't like it."
Russell will be hosting the This Is Comedy gala on the December 1 at Vaudeville Theatre. @thisiscomedy14 Tickets: http://www.nimaxtheatres.com/vaudeville-theatre/
