Strictly Come Dancing 2022: Who is the latest celeb to leave Strictly?

This week Ellie Simmonds became the sixth celebrity to leave Strictly Come Dancing.

Ellie ended up in the bottom two after the public vote, and had to compete against fellow celeb Molly Rainford in the dreaded dance-off.

Both couples performed their routines again with Ellie and her dance partner Nikita performing their Charleston routine to Too Darn Hot from Kiss Me Kate, and Molly and her dance partner Carlos performing their Foxtrot to You Make Me Happy by My Sun and My Stars.

When it came down the the judges decision, they all chose to save Molly, saying that her performance was just "a little bit stronger", but that both routines were "incredible".
