Strictly Come Dancing revealed its latest celebrity elimination as Week 4 of the 2026 series drew to a close.
Saturday night's (October 17) main show saw Cach Mercer and Maddie Ingoldsby and Jaime Winstone and Carlos Gu jointly top the leaderboard with scores of 34.
Meanwhile, Dame Sarah Storey and Julian Caillon were left at the bottom on 21 points.
The leaderboard each week is decided by the judges' scores, which are weighted equally with votes from the public, meaning in theory anyone could end up in the dreaded dance-off.
Who left Strictly Come Dancing 2026 in Week 4 of the series?
Storey and Caillon ended up being one of the pairs required to face the dance-off, along with Bethany Antonia and her partner Nancy Xu, who came third from bottom on 27 points.
Antonia and Xu repeated their cha-cha to Respect by Aretha Franklin, while Storey and Caillon again performed their tango to That Don’t Impress Me Much by Shania Twain.
In the end, judges Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke opted to save Antonia, meaning head judge Shirley Ballas did not need to use her deciding vote.
That meant Paralympian Storey was eliminated from the competition.
Who is Dame Sarah Storey?
Dame Sarah Storey is Britain's most successful Paralympian, who made her debut aged 14 at the 1992 Games in Barcelona as a swimmer.
In her debut Games, she won two gold, three silver and a bronze medal.
She continued competing in the pool at three further Paralympic Games before changing to cycling in 2005.
Overall, she has competed at nine Paralympic Games and has won 30 medals, 19 of which are gold.
Dame Sarah has also competed in, and won, able-bodied cycling races.
She took part in the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games on the track and was part of the Great Britain Team Pursuit team before the London 2012 Games.
