Sam Attwater has become the latest celebrity to leave Dancing on Ice All-Stars.
The former EastEnders actor follows in the footsteps of Kyran Bracken, who exited the ITV competition at the end of last Sunday's (February 23) live show.
Attwater and his partner Vicky Ogden left the competition after a shock result saw favourites Ray Quinn and Maria Filippov in the skate-off.
The two couples found themselves in the bottom two after the judges' scores and public votes were combined.
Attwater performed an upbeat routine to Flo Rida's 'Club Can't Handle Me', while Quinn performed to James Morrison's 'You Make It Real' to keep his place in the competition.
Judges Karen Barber, Ashley Roberts, Jason Gardiner and Robin Cousins unanimously voted to keep Quinn in the competition.

Dancing on Ice star Ray Quinn has admitted that he is "blagging" his way through the competition.
Appearing on Daybreak, the former singer told Aled Jones and Lorraine Kelly about his experience on the ITV skating show.
"I'm definitely blagging it… You're living on the edge on the skates… There's so much to think about… It either happens or it doesn't, that's the thing," Quinn said.
Of being one of the favourites to win, he continued: "I try not to think about it to be honest, the nerves are there anyway and you're anxious about going out and doing something that's out of your comfort zone anyway so there's a lot to think about…
"It sounds stupid but I live like a dog, I live in the moment so I live in what is happening now and what I need to do now and then once it's done it's in the pocket.

Her exit follows on from Gareth Gates who left the show last Sunday (February 9).
Shaw was up against former rugby player Kyran Bracken in what was her first ever skate-off.
Bracken skated to Michael Jackson's famous track 'Billie Jean', while Shaw opted for 'Music' by Madonna.
Shaw made a number of mistakes in her routine, resulting in judges Ashley Roberts and Jason Gardiner saving Bracken.
Temporary judge Nicky Slater also saved Bracken, but said: "Neither of you should be here."
Karen Barber added that she would also have opted to save Bracken.
Shaw blamed her stumbles on her nerves, saying: "I think it's because I haven't had experience doing the skate-off before."
She added: "I really wanted to try and make it all the way to the final. I'm just glad we went out on one of our best skates.

Kyran Bracken wants Dancing On Ice bosses to reinstate Karen Barber to the show’s judging panel.
The rugby champion won the 2007 series of the show with his professional partner Melanie Lambert and said that current judges Emma Bunton and Jason Gardiner don’t have enough knowledge of ice skating to offer a proper critique.
“The whole audience was rocking and that definitely makes a difference with non-skating judges,” he wrote in his Blue Room blog.
“Irrespective of how complicated Sam’s team skated [which was miles better] the better ‘performers’ won. Another example of how wrong the producers have got the judging panel.”
He added: “I would love to see Karen back on the panel with hers and Robin [Cousins]‘s marks having priority over the other two, whoever they may be!”

Bracken, who triumphed on the ice dancing reality show in 2007, claimed that alterations to the voting methods and skills week were misjudged.

He told The Blue Room: “I feel the judges are reducing Hayley’s chances of winning the show.

“The voting public do not like seeing misguided favouritism. I feel this will become more evident as the weeks go by.”
He added: “If this keeps up I believe by the final, the public will be more likely to pick up the phone for others.
“Maybe Hayley realises this and that’s why she thanked Jason for his fair mark?”

Bracken also claimed that having dance experience won’t help the stars as much as they think.

Heather Mills has lived up to her diva reputation and demanded a specially crafted pair of ice skates for her stint on ITV’s Dancing On Ice.
The vegan former model insisted on a pair of skates not made from leather and bosses were forced to source her a £200 pair made of Clarino.
A source told The Daily Mail: ‘Heather is adamant that she will not wear leather, which is barely a step down from fur as far as she is concerned.
‘It was part of her conditions for going on the show, which also include an insistence that all her refreshments are vegan.
‘Vegan boots are not unheard of in ice-dancing because leather needs so much looking after, but they are not the standard by any means.’
