Dancing on Ice star Patsy Palmer became the latest celebrity to exit the ice skating competition on Sunday evening after landing in the dreaded skate-off.
The remaining celebrities and their professional partners returned to the ice once again to perform a series of routines inspired by music icons.
They were under the watchful eyes of ice skating royalty Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean as well as Ashley Banjo and Oti Mabuse on the fearsome judging panel.
Hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby delivered the news that Patsy Palmer and Darren Harriott had landed in the skate-off following a vote.
The EastEnders star then became the fourth celebrity to exit the ITV skating competition after all four of the judges chose to save Darren, taking him through to movies week next weekend.

Holly and Phil then congratulated Patsy on her run, to which she gushed: "I've met the best people ever. We've been like one big family.
"Everyone on this show, honestly, it's truly, truly beautiful people."
The EastEnders star became the fourth to exitA number of stars have already left the show, with Love Island star Ekin-Su Culculoglu breaking down in tears last weekend when she became the third star to be eliminated.
The 28-year-old couldn't stop the tears from falling after facing Patsy in the skate-off – which This Morning ’s Phillip dubbed 'the most emotional vote we've ever had'.
The week before, Michelle Heaton was the second celebrity to be eliminated on Dancing On Ice, leaving viewers displeased with the voting result.
