Sara Davies has been eliminated from 'Strictly Come Dancing'.

The 37-year-old TV personality and her professional partner Aljaz Skorjanec have exited the BBC show after losing in the dread-off against Tilly Ramsay and her partner Nikita Kuzmin.

Speaking about her time on the show, Sara said: "I had no idea any of this was in me. It’s been a life-changing experience, one I’ve loved every second of."

Aljaz, 31, also praised the efforts of his dance partner.

He told Sara: "You have been an absolute joy and a testament to hard work - not just on 'Strictly' but with your business and you’re a beautiful mother.

"Thank you for letting me spend so much time not just with you, but with the whole family, the Davieses that are here tonight, all of the little ones at home.

"I’ve been so welcomed up north, it made me feel like I’m back home in Slovenia because everyone is so lovely and friendly.

"I’m going to miss you so much. I’m going to miss dancing with you."

Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke all voted to save Tilly after the dance-off, and head judge Shirley Ballas agreed with their assessment of the routines.

Craig said: "This is a really difficult decision because I gave both couples on Saturday night a ‘seven’.

"So very, very equal, which made the decision even more difficult, but I think for me, the couple that stood out a little bit more and had the edge: Tilly and Nikita."

Anton echoed Craig's feelings and acknowledged that the standard on this year's series has been exceptionally high.

He explained: "I think if you were ever choosing to do 'Strictly Come Dancing', this is the year to avoid.

"The standard is so high and either of these couples could have made it to the final any other year.

"Based on this dance-off and this dance-off alone, which was so strong, I’m just going to give the edge to Tilly and Nikita."
