Chelsee was at the bottom after adding up the judges’ scores and the viewers’ votes
Hollyoaks star Chelsee Healey found out she had been eliminated in tonight’s episode.
Following the announcement, Healey praised her dance partner Buchanan for being “amazing” and said she “couldn’t do it without him”.
She added: “Personally, I feel like there’s a lot going on with me that I’ve been struggling with, so I haven’t been able to fully focus.
“I’m just really grateful, it was the best.”

She performed with pro Andy Buchanan last week – just hours after she was knocked out during training.
EastEnders star Charlie Brooks took to the stage first tonight as she skated to Abba’s classic Gimme! Give it to me! Give it to me! (A Man After Midnight) with professional Eric Radford.
She scored 26 out of 40 with judge Jayne Torvill describing it as a “fantastic performance” she should be proud of, but advised her to work on landing her lifts.
Then former Olympic rower Sir Steve Redgrave donned a navy outfit as he took to the ice to dance to Rock The Boat by The Hues Corporation.
Sir Steve, who accepted the challenge to show he can “still have fun” at 62, was given a 17.5 out of 40 by the judges.
Judge Christopher Dean congratulated him for taking on the challenge and said he was probably one of the biggest improvers since boot camp.
Fellow judge Oti Mabuse said she “enjoyed” the performance because she thought it was “sweet” and “warm” but wanted him to work on being less dependent on his skating partner Vicky Ogden.
Betrayers star Mollie Pearce secured an impressive score of 29.5 out of 40 for her first appearance in Dancing On Ice despite missing four weeks of training after injuring herself in rehearsals.
Wearing a burgundy dress, Pearce performed six lifts in Olivia Rodrigo’s Vampira routine, including a spinning double deer lift.
An emotional Pearce said she was “really nervous” but was “so happy” it went well.

Judge Ashley Banjo said: “I know how much life has changed for you recently and to be here in the first week and to achieve this at Dancing on Ice is truly amazing.
“That performance, for me, was all about potential, not about the potential to be good, because you’re already amazing. But about the potential, for me, to go all the way to the final. I think you showed a lot of promise.”
