The Strictly dream has come to an emotional end for Greg Rutherford as he became the ninth celeb to leave the show.
It was between him and Claudia Fragapane in the dance off – and most viewers were convinced the judges made the wrong pick.
Claudia is good. But Greg was better in the dance off tonight #Strictly #scd

Claudia's dance seemed a bit messy to me, really wanted Greg to stay #Strictly

*SPOILER* I like Claudia and AJ but thought Greg & Natalie danced better in the danceoff. Gutted they've gone #Strictly #Blackpool

I love Claudia but I don't see what the judges did in her jive. Greg seemed much stronger on quickstep (even to an awful song!) #Strictly

Maybe just how it came across on tv, but Claudia looked awkward and the whole dance seemed laboured. Much preferred Greg's #Strictly

When interviewed by Tess Daly at the end, Greg could barely speak from being so emotional – and the sound of a million hearts breaking across the nation could be heard.
When Greg cries, we all cry #Strictly

His little face! How could you do that to him? If you need a hug, Lovely Greg, I'm right over here. Sobbing. #Strictly

It’s also made quite a lot of people very mad at the general voting public (wouldn’t be the first time this year, eh?) for choosing to keep a certain former shadow chancellor in over everyone’s favourite long jumper.
Totally gutted for Greg, such a huge improvement over the last two months! What is wrong with the British public @bbcstrictly #Strictly 😢

Well so much for Great British Public vote - first Brexit and now Ed Balls ... sigh ... should have voted for Greg #Strictly
