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