Alex Scott and her partner Neil Jones are the latest couple to leave Strictly Come Dancing.

On Musicals Week, they danced the Samba to Joyful Joyful from Sister Act and the judges gave them a score of 27.

They were in the dance-off with Chris Ramsey and Karen Hauer who scored 28 with their Foxtrot to Consider Yourself from the musical Oliver!

There was a split vote between the judges this week - Craig Revel-Horwood and Motsi Mabuse chose to save Neil and Alex but Bruno Tonioli chose to save Chris and Karen. It was up to head judge Shirley to make the final decision, and she chose Chris and Karen.
