There was no skate-off this week as the second celebrity to be booted from Dancing on Ice was revealed.

The scores from the judges were combined with the public vote and the celebrity with the lowest total score was sent home.

Former pop-star Michelle Heaton became the second celeb to pack up their ice skates and leave the competition.

She said she was "gutted" to be leaving and had "loved every second of it".

Michelle and her partner, Łukasz Różycki, were already last in the leader board after the judges scores following their performance of All That Jazz from Chicago.

Also at risk - just half a point ahead of Michelle - was actress and DJ, Patsy Palmer who took one of the first tumbles of the series.
