'Oh I love to see that. Regan for a couple of weeks I thought you were on the same level but tonight, you were so technically good.'

The Paralympic athlete, 37 and her skating partner Andy Buchanan were sent home after they landed in the skate off opposite Kye Whyte and Tippy Packard.

The couple were praised by all the judges, with Jayne noting that they probably would have made it to the final of other series.

Following her elimination, Steph said: 'I've loved every moment. It's not something that I ever thought I'd be able to do.'

Giving Andy a hug, she added: 'I can't thank you enough.'
