Strictly Come Dancing was back for its fifth week, with a special episode celebrating 100 years of the BBC.
The special episodes saw the celebrities dance to iconic BBC show theme tunes, with the likes of EastEnders, Line of Duty, Doctor Who and more featured.
Some stars surprised judges with their new skills and their impressive progress throughout the series, whilst others left the judges speechless and unable to describe what they saw.
But now as the fifth week comes to an end and votes have been counted, it was time for one star's time on Strictly to come to an end.
Here's how the couples scored in week five, and who ended up becoming the fourth celebrity to leave Strictly in 2022.

Who left Strictly this week?
Comedian Jayde Adams was the fourth celebrity to be voted off Strictly Come Dancing for the 2022 season.
Adams danced the Charleston alongside her partner Karen Hauer to the iconic comic song The Ballad of Barry and Freda (Let's Do It) which was written and performed by fellow comedian Victoria Wood.
The routine secured them a good score of 28 with judge Motsi Mabuse telling Adams she was “one of the best” performers but felt her dance moves needed improving at this stage of the competition.
Adams was against singer and actress Molly Rainford in the dreaded dance-off.
Rainford and her partner Carlos Gu, danced their couples’ choice routine to the Grange Hill Theme Tune again, which judge Anton Du Beke had described as a “safe” option in the live show.
After the two couples had danced for a second time, it saw a unanimous decision by the judges to save Rainford, sending Adams home.

On leaving the show, Adams said: "This has been the best thing I have ever done in my life and I will carry it to my grave, and it has been an absolute pleasure working with you (Karen) and learning about so much that will go into my own stuff, in my own work.
“You are one of the most gifted people I have ever worked with Karen.
“And everyone on this show, said it to me, when I had you, they said ‘you’ve got the best one’ sorry everyone, and I did and you are fantastic and this has been such an honour.
“Not only have I got to be on Strictly Come Dancing but I got to have Karen Hauer, you are amazing, thank you for everything!”
The comedian and dancer are also the show’s second female same-sex couple, as Katya Jones was paired with Olympic gold medallist boxer Nicola Adams in 2020.
Strictly Come Dancing returns on Saturday, October 29 at 6.50pm for its Halloween Special, with the results show on Sunday October 30 at 7:20pm on BBC One.
