Despite the pair scoring 30 (their highest marks), Oti Mabuse, Christopher Dean and guest judge Johnny Weir all chose to save Amber and Simon – meaning that Ricky was knocked out of the competition. Jayne Torvill also confirmed she would have saved Amber and Simon.
After his elimination, Ricky reflected on his time during the competition, telling the judges: "From not being able to walk on the ice to getting to this point here, I never thought I'd get to this point.
"I don't know where I would have been without you," he said to Annette before leaving the rink.

Radio DJ Adele Roberts and her pro partner Mark Hanretty then performed a routine to 'Young Hearts Run Free' by Candi Staton, and matched Miles' score of 36.
