Strictly Come Dancing spoilers follow.
Strictly Come Dancing has revealed the second elimination of the series, as TV presenter Ross King exited the competition. In tonight's results show, Ross and his professional partner Jowita Przystał found themselves in the dreaded dance-off alongside EastEnders' Balvinder Sopal and pro Julian Caillon.
Ross and Jowita once again performed their Paso Doble to the Thunderbirds Are Go theme tune, while Balvinder and Julian danced their Foxtrot to 'The Way You Look Tonight' from Swing Time.
After both couples had performed, their fate was left in the hands of judges Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and Craig Revel Horwood who all voted to save Balvinder and Julian.
Though the vote was unanimous, Head Judge Shirley Ballas revealed that she would've also used this week's casting vote to save the soap star.

Following his elimination, Ross shared his gratitude to everyone who supported him during the show, including the public and the Strictly cast and crew.
"And, I want to thank a very special lady who has been with me through it all and has been absolutely everything: she's been a mentor, teacher, carer...," he tearfully continued, praising Jowita.

"I could not have wished for a better partner, and I could not have wished to be on a better show. Thank you judges for all your remarks."
Reflecting on their partnership, Jowita replied: "Thank you so much for all of your work. For everything you have done during rehearsals. We laugh a lot – but we also cried! Thank you so much, and I hope I'm going to be a little part in your life forever."
The competition continues next Saturday (18 October) when the 13 remaining couples return to the dancefloor with even more spectacular performances.
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.
