Jody Cundy was the latest celebrity to leave the show this week
This past weekend's show saw Jody Cundy unanimously voted to leave the show by the judges after they decided that Eddie Kadi's performance was better.
Cundy struggled on the show this week with the Paralympian nearly pulling out of the competition earlier on after his leg for infected while he was learning the Viennese Waltz.
His partner Jowita Przystal won the Glitterball last year with her partner Hamza Yassin but this year has departed earlier than she would have liked to.
