Strictly Come Dancing spoilers follow
Strictly Come Dancing has announced the ninth celebrity to be eliminated from the competition.
This week (November 23) featured the return of the Dance-A-Thon, which saw JB Gill and Lauren Oakley wow the judges with their Samba moves. With the extra points gained, the duo landed a joint top spot on the leaderboard, alongside Tasha Ghouri and Aljaž Škorjanec who received a perfect 40 score.
However, tonight's (November 24) results show revealed the two couples in danger of leaving the show, as Jamie Borthwick and Michelle Tsiakkas faced the dance-off against Montell Douglas and Johannes Radebe.
Jamie and partner Michelle once again performed their Foxtrot to 'Stand By Me' by Ben E. King. They were followed by Montell and partner Johannes, who danced their Quickstep to 'Get Happy' by Ella Fitzgerald.

In another unanimous vote, all four judges voted to save Montell and Johannes, which meant Jamie and Michelle were eliminated from the competition.
Jamie celebrated his time on the show, telling host Tess Daly: "Strictly is magic. That is all I can say. Strictly is magic. Not just everyone who you see in front of the camera, these four here [the judges], but everyone who works on this show.
"I have such a good bond and relationship with [them] and that's what made me want to do this show, it's the people, not what I'm doing. I've had the best time."
The EastEnders star praised his dancing partner for being "the most amazing teacher". "We have laughed like you wouldn't believe. I have nothing but the utmost respect for everyone on the show, so thank you," he said.

Michelle added: "I just want to say it goes without saying Jamie is an amazing dancer, and he's improved so much week by week. He's worked so hard to get to where he is.
"It's my first year with a partner and I've realised that it's so much more than just the dancing and the technique, it's the bonds and the friendships that you make. I waited two years for a partner and I wouldn't have had it any other way."
The Strictly 2024 quarter final kicks off next week (November 30), as the six remaining couples return to the dancefloor. But who will be next to leave the competition?
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.
