Despite winning the most recent Christmas edition of the long-running BBC dancing competition, Jamie, 30, was eliminated from the 2024 series.

The soap star was the ninth star to be voted off Strictly Come Dancing after he landed in the dreaded dance off.

Although he received good scores from the judges for his Foxtrot, the panel chose to save Gladiators athlete Montell Douglas, 38.

TV presenter Fleur East welcomed the TV personality and his professional partner Michelle Tsiakkas, 29, into the BBC Two studio.

At first they seemed upbeat about their departure as Fleur read out angry messages from viewers who were fuming at his departure.

Many fans thought he was under-marked throughout the show as one message read: “The judges are too harsh on Jamie.

“That was genuinely amazing. I don’t know why that didn’t reflect in the scores.”

They added: “He has not been given fair markings compared to the others.”

However, the star then introduced a highlights VT which showed a montage of footage from their performances and behind the scenes rehearsals.

As the couple reappeared after the video, tears ran down Michelle’s cheeks as she was seen to clasp tightly to a tissue.

This was while Jamie struggled to hold back his own tears as emotions ran high.

They couldn’t help but share an emotional embrace as they hugged each other tightly.

Fleur exclaimed: “Oh, it’s emotional. Jamie, as an actor you really know how to put on a show.”

To which a dewy-eyed Jamie replied back: “Are you crying as well?”

The presenter said: “Yeah, you got me emotional watching it back!”, as she wiped away a tear.

This comes after fans were left utterly fuming at the shock elimination over the weekend.
