Strictly Come Dancing spoilers follow.
Strictly Come Dancing has announced which couple has left the competition, following the iconic Blackpool Week.
Yesterday's (November 16) live show saw the remaining celebrities reach a coveted Strictly milestone, as they danced at the Blackpool Tower Ballroom. However, as always, two contestants were at risk of leaving the competition in tonight's results show.
Wynne Evans and Katya Jones were back in the dance-off, this time against Montell Douglas and Johannes Radebe, with both couples having to perform again for the judges.

Montell and Johannes performed their Salsa to 'Don't Leave Me This Way' by Thelma Houston, before Wynne and Katya danced their Charleston to 'Carmen Suite No. 1: 5. Les Toreadors' by George Bizet.
It was Wynne and Katya who were eliminated by the judges this week, after Montell and Johannes won a unanimous vote.
Speaking to host Tess Daly, Wynne described his experience as "wonderful", adding: "I've got to say. I feel like it's what Strictly is all about. If I can come and do Strictly and last until week nine, then anybody can get out there and dance and have a brilliant time.
"Strictly is such a brilliant family, such a precious family, that I want everybody here in this room and at home to look after it for the generations to come because it is a wonderful, wonderful thing."

Katya said: "To be honest with you, the smile hasn't left my face since the first day of our training, since the day we got partnered up."
She shared that Wynne had made the experience "so joyous and so full of laughter" for her. "You bring light, you bring laughter, you bring charisma, you fill up every room you walk into with those qualities," she said.
Wynne echoed her sentiments, adding: "To spend every weekday dancing has been just fantastic. I've grown so much and I'm so thankful to have met this person [Katya]."
The final seven couples will return next Saturday (November 23) for the Dance-A-Thon, which will see them taking to the floor together to show off their best Samba moves.
Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturdays on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
