Ravnir and Giovanni
It was week eight and the semi-finals for Strictly Come Dancing this weekend.
The remaining couples tried to dance their way into next week's final.
Ranvir and Giovanni were voted out this week after a public vote and a dance off with Jamie and his partner Karen.
Ranvir - who is a TV presenter and journalist was the seventh celebrity to leave the show,
There are now four couples left for next week's final.
If you missed it no need to worry we have a mini round up below!
Jamie and Karen survived the dance off again on Saturday
The judges scores from Saturday's show were combined with votes from the public and Jamie and Karen and Ranvir and Giovanni had scored the lowest and had to face the 'dance off".
Ranvir and her partner Giovanni danced a Waltz to Waltz to Un Giorno Per Noi.
Jamie and Karen opted for a Salsa dance and danced to Last Dance by Donna Summer.
After they danced the judges were asked to save the couple they thought deserved to be in next week's final.
Motsi chose to save Ranvir and Giovanni and she said: : "Well this was really one tough decision, we had two beautiful dances, two beautiful human beings and I will save Ranvir and Giovanni."
However, Craig chose to save Jamie and Karen and so did head judge Shirley Ballas who had the deciding vote!
Shirley said:"Well again, this is very difficult because I've grown to love both couples. I'm getting quite emotional now. Musicality, determination, conviction from both teams, they just gave their all. But I just feel that one couple had a little more determination, a little bit more 'I'm not leaving without that trophy' and with that in mind I'm saving Jamie and Karen."
When asked how she feels about leaving the show Ranvir said:
"There's some really beautiful moments in there and so much more than I ever expected and I'm sad not to be in the Final. But at the same time, I am glad that we've moved people to tears and the argentine tango was an amazing moment. We've had some really fantastic memorable moments and I know I couldn't have got this far without you."
Her partner Giovanni said he hoped that Ranvir felt like a "better person" after her experience on the show he added that she was "truly an amazing person inside and out."
