Tina O'Brien waltzes off Strictly Come Dancing

Tina O'Brien

In tonight's Strictly Come Dancing results show Tina O'Brien was voted off, becoming the fourth celebrity to leave the competition.

The judges' scores left Tina O'Brien and Felicity Kendall at the bottom of the leaderboard but the combination of the judges' scores and viewer votes meant Tina O'Brien and partner Jared Murillo were eliminated.

Of Tina and Jared's dance, the judges said:

Bruno Tonioli: "Gorgeous, you kinky kitten, you go very well with rubber, I can see you in rubber all the time! The most focused performance of the day, you were right in it, very vampish however, it needs more drive on the walks of the tango, you need to use your feet on those hooks."

Craig Revel Horwood: "It was sort of a gothic version of Olivia Newton John really, in Grease, which I thought was a bit bizarre. Then it got bizarrer. They need to have a lot more swivel. There needs to be a lot more of an A frame through this dance. You need to work with a connection through your solar plexus and that really wasn't happening. It was a bit stoppy and a bit starty. I actually was just a little bit bored throughout it."

Alesha Dixon: "Really nice change from last week, Tina. Obviously this dance is all about being seductive and I think you acted that side of it really, really well. The Argentine steps that you did were really nice - I liked all the leg kicks but for me you were still a little lukewarm. This isn't a bad thing but I think we've got more to come from you. I think you can push it jut a little bit more. But the acting and the role play was really well done."

Len Goodman: "I thought the lifts were excellent, they flowed with the dance, I thought the steps were clear and precise, I can see the dancer emerging. That's your best dance to date, congratulations."

After their elimination Tina said: "I've had the best time ever, I'm really sorry to Jared, I really wanted to go further in the competition for him. Dancing is now something I want to do for the rest of my life."

The celebrities who also competed this week and escaped elimination were: Kara Tointon, Gavin Henson, Matt Baker, Patsy Kensit, Jimi Mistry, Felicity Kendal, Ann Widdecombe, Michelle Williams, Scott Maslen and Pamela Stephenson.

Tonight's show also saw a guest performance from Alice Cooper.

Couples danced a Viennese Waltz, Jive, Argentine Tango or a Paso Doble

All remaining couples will be dancing next week to either a Ballroom or Latin dance that they haven't yet performed
