The fourth contestant to be eliminated from this year's Strictly Come Dancing has left the ballroom for the last time.

Eddie Kadie and his professional dance partner Karen Hauer came up against Zara McDermott and Graziano Di Prima in Sunday's dance off.

After performing their routines again the judges voted in favour of saving Zara, meaning it was time up for stand-up comedian and presenter Eddie.

He said appearing on Strictly was something he'd always wanted to do, adding: "it's the happiest I've ever been".

Eddie and Karen went first in the dance off, performing their Samba to Calm Down by Rema and Selena Gomez.

Meanwhile Zara and Graziano performed their American Smooth to Can't Fight The Moonlight by LeAnn Rimes.

Judges Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke all voted to save Zara and Graziano, meaning they won the majority vote and Eddie and Karen would be eliminated.

Anton said it was an excellent dance off but he thought Zara and Graziano had a "slightly cleaner technique".

Eddie said appearing on the show had been the highest point in his career so far.

After being eliminated from the show, Karen was asked how proud she was of Eddie.

She said: "You are a treasure, I'm going to miss you".

The remaining couples will take to the dancefloor next week when Strictly Come Dancing returns for a Halloween special on Saturday 28 October.
