Greg Rusedski was criticised for being "wooden" during his run

The sportsman lost out in the skate-off to Coronation Street actress Zaraah Abrahams after an edition that saw the competitors perform with props.

Abrahams proceeds to next week's semi-final along with singer Gareth Gates, Hollyoaks actor Chris Fountain and ex-Hear'Say star Suzanne Shaw.

Shaw skated despite chipping a bone in her ankle during rehearsals.

She gained 24 out of 30 points from the judges after dancing to Barbra Streisand's Don't Rain On My Parade using a chair and an umbrella in her routine.

Her professional ice dance partner Matt Evers, who suffered a cut eye during practice, called Shaw a "strong woman" for pressing on with the live performance.

Fountain topped the judges' leaderboard once again after being displaced by Shaw last week, with his routine picking up 27 points.
