She's survived a record four dance-offs on this year's Strictly Come Dancing.

But on Sunday's episode of the BBC show, Jamelia's luck ran out as she said goodbye following a dance-off with Peter Andre.

The Brummie popstar and her handsome Irish partner Tristan MacManus left the show following their Quickstep to The Monkees' I'm A Believer.

It was Peter's first ever time in the dance-off with his partner Janette Manrara after he appeared to struggle somewhat with his Jive to Tina Turner's River Deep, Mountain High on Saturday's show.

Peter, who was one point was favourite to win the series, ended up bottom of the leaderboard in the Blackpool special episode, which was broadcast live from the seaside resort's Tower Ballroom.

Asked for his opinion, Craig Revel-Horwood said: 'I would like to save Peter and Janette.'

Darcey Bussell agreed: 'The couple I would like to save on their improvement on tonight's performance is Peter and Janette.'

Bruno Tonioli gave the deciding vote of Peter and Janette, with head judge Len Goodman admitting he didn't agree with his fellow judges and would have saved Jamelia.

Following her exit, Jamelia said: 'I'm sorry to go. I do have to say I've had the most fantastic time. I've made the most amazing set of friends.

'I thought I was only going to get to week three and be gone, but I'm here at the Tower Ballroom and made it to Blackpool. I'm happy.'

She also paid tribute to her partner Tristan: 'I could not have had a better partner than Tristan.

'He's so fantastic, so positive and he really has believed in me. It's down to him why I've made it all the way to Blackpool, thank you.'
