Lisa Riley broke down in tears after being voted off Strictly Come Dancing as she failed to reach the final.

She’s been one of the most entertaining contestants in the show’s history but it wasn’t enough to save her from elimination.

The former Emmerdale actress is the tenth celebrity to leave the dancing competition and misses out on a place in next week’s grand final after losing the dance-off to Denise Van Outen.

Even though Denise was saved, the former-favourite will be worried after finishing in the bottom two for the second week running despite getting an impressively high score from the judges.  

They performed their highest scoring routines in the head-to-head.

Lisa and partner Robin Windsor danced the American smooth to All That Jazz from the musical Chicago, while Denise and James Jordan dancing the tango to Roxanne by The Police.

They both received standing ovations from the audience before the judges got involved and delivered their verdict.

Craig Revel Horwood chose to save Denise "purely based on technique,” while Darcey Bussell agreed, adding: "This is so hard but yes, technically, the ones I'm going to save are Denise and James."

Bruno said: "First I have to say you've both done so well to come this far, great dancing, great entertainment but I have to go for the best dance and that was delivered by Denise and James."

The result leaves Denuse, gymnast Louis Smith, Girl Aloud star Kimberley Walsh and actress Dani Harmer as the celebrities battling it out for the glitterball trophy in Saturday's final.

It was a bit emotional when the cameras showed Lisa In tears as she received a standing ovation from the judges and the studio audience.

"It's been the best time of my entire life, I can't thank you enough," she said.

"From the costume to the makeup, everybody backstage is just beyond belief, and all the judges, I've had the time of my life.

"And one person has made that and that's Robin Windsor. He has just been amazing.

"What you don't all know is having me as a partner is a really, really tough ask and every week, week in week out he's done it...and he's helped me through one of the toughest times of my life.

“I owe every inch of Strictly to him, he's just amazing."

Fighting back tears, Robin said: "I just want to say from day one this whole experience this year has been absolutely amazing, and Lisa has come out and shown you don't have to be a certain size to dance, and she's inspired so many people around the country.

"She is one of the loveliest, nicest people I've ever met."

For all of you dancing fans, the Strictly Come Dancing final will be shown on BBC One on Saturday at 7pm, with the results show at 9.10pm.
