Katie Piper has become the third celebrity to be eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing - despite Seann Walsh being the bookies' favourite to leave.

The TV presenter and acid attack survivor was in the bottom two with Casualty actor Charles Venn following the public vote.

She and her partner Gorka Marquez danced their jive to Why Do Fools Fall In Love by Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers in the dance-off, while Venn and Karen Clifton repeated their salsa to Use It Up And Wear It Out by Odyssey.

However, all four judges opted to keep Mr Venn in the competition.

Comedian Mr Walsh and his dance partner Katya Jones were the bookies' top choice to leave, after being photographed kissing earlier this month despite being in relationships with other people. They have both apologised publicly.

Mr Walsh's former girlfriend is Norwich-born actress Rebecca Humphries.
