Ricky Groves has been voted off 'Strictly Come Dancing'.

The former 'EastEnders' actor - who was partnered by Erin Boag - was not surprised to leave the competition after his "mistake-ridden" tango scored just 22 points, leaving the couple bottom of the leader board.

He admitted: "It's a dance competition, maybe I should go."

Following the dance-off, all four judges voted unanimously to save actress Laila Rouass and her partner Anton Du Beke, who had earlier scored 29 points.

Ricky wasn't the only celebrity to leave the dance competition this week.

Long jumper Jade Johnson has been forced to withdraw after the knee injury she sustained in rehearsals left her unable to perform for the second week in a row.

The devastated athlete said: "I'm a competitor and I don't give up easily so I'm absolutely gutted that it means that I can't continue dancing in the show.

"I've had a great time and really enjoyed learning to dance, and I am going to miss training with Ian Waite who has been a fantastic partner.

"I'd like to thank all of the people at home who have been supporting me right the way through."
