Who was the first celebrity to leave Strictly?

Strictly Come Dancing is back on our screens for another year, and Sunday night's programme gave us the first dance-off and elimination of this year's series!

Last week's programme saw all the couples take to the dance floor for the first time with no public vote.

But sadly the time had come for someone to be the first to leave the show.

Olympic champion Tom Dean and singer and actress Toyah Willcox ended up in the bottom two - but who survived to see another week?

What happened?

Tom and his dance partner Nadiya Bychkova performed the cha cha to Boogie Wonderland by Earth, Wind and Fire.

Then, Toyah and her dance partner Neil Jones danced a jive to Nutbush City Limits by Ike and Tina Turner in a bid to impress the judges and remain in the competition.

After the dance-off, it was time for the four judges to cast their votes.

Only Anton chose to save Tom and Nadiya, with all three other judges - Craig, Motsi and Shirley - voting to save Toyah and Neil.

That meant it was the three-time Olympic champion swimmer who was the first to leave the show.

When asked by Tess about his time on the show, Dean said he wished he could have "gone further and done more dances".

"I've had the best time [over] the last few weeks and getting to work with Nadiya has been incredible," he added.

"I've had the most fun and I wish we could keep going longer and longer. We'll still go out for loads of brunches, I'm sure."

Nadiya was also full of praise for her dancing partner.

She said that Dean was "a true gentleman", and that he had taught her "how to work really hard and how to put everything in".
