The sixth celebrity has been voted off Strictly Come Dancing 2019 in tonight’s results.
This weekend Strictly Come Dancing’s celebrity dancers and their professional partners once again each took to the dancefloor with nine couples remaining.
As always, they were out to impress the viewers at home – as well as the line up of judges Bruno Tonioli, Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse and Craig Revel Horwood in the studio.
Viscountess Emma Weymouth and Mike Bushell had to dance again and it was Emma who went home in the latest result.

In tonight’s Strictly Come Dancing results, the judges’ scores were combined with the results of the viewers’ votes to decide the lowest scoring two couples facing the dance off.
This weekend, that was Mike Bushell and his partner Katya Jones and Viscountess Emma Weymouth and her partner Aljaž Škorjanec.
Both couples performed their routines again, Mike and Katya performed their Charleston to Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines by Ron Goodwin Orchestra and Viscountess Emma Weymouth and her partner Aljaž Škorjanec performed their Samba to Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber’s I Don’t Care in a bid to impress the judges and remain in the competition.
After both couples had danced a second time, the judges delivered their verdicts and it was an unanimous decision.
Craig Revel Horwood said: “Well, for me the most challenging and the better dance, I thought on this particular performance for me, I’d like to save Mike & Katya.”
Motsi Mabuse added: “I’m going to choose a couple which I think everything they did was much clearer to read, much easier to follow and more prepared. I’m going to go with Mike & Katya.”
Bruno Tonoili said: “Purely based on tonight’s performance, more entertaining, richer, more powerful and something extraordinary happened, the celebrity actually covered for the professionals mistake; Mike & Katya.”
Although her vote was not needed, head judge Shirley Ballas said she would have also chosen to save Mike & Katya.
When asked about her time on the show, Emma said: “I’ve loved this more than anything I’ve done in my entire life.
“I’m going to be forever grateful to you for working so hard, you’ve been so patient with me and teaching me everything.
“Thank you, I want to be friends forever because you’re just amazing. I never wanted to let you down, I’m just heartbroken.”
Aljaz added: “You never ever let me down from the first day of rehearsals when I walked in. I’m the only professional to have danced with an actual lady on Strictly Come Dancing.
“From day one in rehearsals, your dedication, to go from a non-performer, non-dancer, to achieve what you achieved on this show, I’m lucky it was me that taught you how to dance.
“Thank you so much for every single second in rehearsals. On that dancefloor you surprised me positively every single week. Thank you so much.”
Sunday’s Results show opened with an Elton John inspired group dance, as well as a musical performance from award-winning singer and songwriter Emelie Sande, performing her single Shine.
Emma & Aljaz will appear live on Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two on the sofa with Rylan Clark-Neal for their first interview live on Monday 4th October from 6.30pm on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer.
Strictly is back next Saturday and Sunday night on BBC One.
