What happened in the Strictly Dance-Off this week?

Melanie Walters and her dance partner Aljaž Škorjanec danced their Charleston to "Ooh Ahh… Just A Little Bit" by Gina G in a bid to impress the judges and remain in the competition.
Then, Shaun Wright-Phillips and his partner Alexis Warr performed their quickstep to "I'm A Believer" by The Monkees.
After the dance-off, it was time for the four judges to cast their votes.

While Motsi decided to save Melanie, fellow judges Shirley, Anton and Craig all chose to save Shaun.
This meant that Melanie became the second celeb to leave the show.
Strictly returns to our screens next weekend, for Icons week.
The remaining 13 couples will take to the floor to dance to songs by some of the world's most successful artists.
