Britain's most successful Paralympian is voted off Strictly after judges unanimously save House of the Dragon star in dance-off
Dame Sarah Storey, 48, and partner Julian Caillon finished bottom of Saturday's Icons Week leaderboard on just 21 points for their tango to Shania Twain's 'That Don't Impress Me Much'. Craig Revel Horwood said they had 'dropped the ball a little bit'. Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke all saved Bethany Antonia and Nancy Xu. Head judge Shirley Ballas never needed her deciding vote.
Storey has won 30 Paralympic medals, 19 of them gold, across nine Games.
Caillon hailed his partner as 'the GOAT' and insisted: 'You can dance.'
Storey's one regret was never getting the chance to conquer the Jive.
