Jason Bell was the second star booted off Strictly Come Dancing on tonight’s show.
The former American football player left the BBC show tonight after losing a dance-off with boxer Nicola Adams.
All three judges decided to send the 42-year-old home after his Star Ward-themed dance failed to impress.
Craig Revel Horwood said both couples had improved by said Nicola and her partner Katya Jones were the stronger couple.
Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas also agreed that Nicola had tipped it for them too.
When the result was announced, Jason told host Tess Daly: “It was an opportunity of a lifetime. I had so much fun.”

Talking to his dance partner Luba Mushtuk, he added: “Thank you so much Luba, you have worked so hard with me.
“You are a great friend for life, I appreciate all that you’ve done.”
Luba was emotional as she told him: “Thank you so much.”
Jason then continued: “I’ve had such a great time here, everyone is wonderful. I mean really, this is amazing.”

Luba added: “I just want to say that you’ve really brought joy to my life and I’m so honoured and proud to have been partnered with you.
“I have a friend for life and I just want to say that to be able to actually do this show… shout out to everyone has made so many sacrifices to make this happen.”
Tess also told Jason as he left the show: “Your smile has lit up the Strictly dance floor and you’ve made your daughter very proud.”
