Strictly Come Dancing professional Johannes Radebe has sparked exit rumours following an emotional speech after his partner Ellie Taylor was eliminated from the BBC competition on Sunday night.
The comedian and her dance partner landed in the bottom two with Fleur East and Vito Coppola. After performing their Jive to Van Morrison's Brown Eyed Girl, all four judges chose to save Fleur and Vito, citing stronger technique.
In her farewell, Taylor praised Radebe as 'human sunshine' and said it was 'an absolute privilege to dance with you JoJo'. The professional dancer was left sobbing, telling her: 'It's been a pleasure, treasure, that's our thing. Embrace your long limbs, because you are one gorgeous person.'
Fans have speculated that Radebe's emotional response may signal his departure from the show, though no official confirmation has been made. The remaining six couples will perform live on Friday at 8pm.
