On this week's show the nine remaining celebrities each performed a different dance, but there was a Strictly shocking result on the Sunday night.

Heather Small and her dance partner Brian Fortuna were voted out of Strictly Come Dancing series six after the viewers' votes were counted and added to the judges' scores from Saturday. Their score of 27 after doing a reasonable tango somehow left them languishing in the bottom two. Two other celebs, John Sergeant and Jodie Kidd, had both finished below Heather in the judges' leader board and yet both were saved by the voting public. If that wasn't shocking enough, the other couple in the bottom two was Rachel Stevens and her dance partner Vincent Simone. They had scored 35 points with the judges and many thought their American smooth had been their best performance of the series so far.

The final decision as always was left to the judges however, and they voted unanimously in Rachel's favour. Click through the gallery below to see what each contestant danced and how they scored.
