Stephen sked if he had anything to say to the audience as they were the ones who had kept him in. Josh then said: "Thank you so much. You've got weird taste but I appreciate it." Holly said everyone was loving their performance last week, and said they had shown 'real promise' in their routine.
Asked about his relationship with Tippy, Josh added: "That's the saddest bit because we get on so much. She's been to my house, I've cooked her a roast and we just like chilling with each other."
Tippy praised Josh's skills on the ice and said his exit was a 'shame'. She said: "We could have done really well, he had so much potential to bring so many laughs to the competition. It's a shame we won't see that journey."
Fans sent Josh their consolations on X. One wrote: "Aww poor Josh," adding a crying and broken heart emoji. Another fan said: "Get well soon Josh. #DancingOnIce."
