Jennifer Ellison has become the latest star to be voted out of Dancing on Ice.

The former Brookside actress found herself without a place in next week's season finale after landing in the bottom two when public votes and judges' scores were combined.

The writing appeared to be on the wall for the soap star after she stumbled during her earlier performance, with the judges commenting as much.

Following the skate-off against Hollyoaks actress Jorgie Porter, Louie Spence, Robin Cousins and Katarina Witt were all unanimous in sending the Liverpudlian actress home.

After it was revealed she was out of the competition, the tearful star told hosts Phillip Schofield and Christine Bleakley:

"I've loved every single minute of it.

"I just want to thank everyone for giving me the opportunity. Good luck to the other guys - this is the best year ever. It's going to be a cracking final."

Chico, Matthew Wolfenden and Porter will go through to compete in next week's grand finale, where they will perform their favourite routines.

One act will be eliminated in the first half of the show and then the final two pairs will give their versions of Torvill and Dean's famous Bolero.

The Dancing on Ice finale airs Sunday at 6.50pm on ITV1.
