Victoria and Brendan lost out to Michael Vaughan and Natalie Lowe who also fell to the bottom two after the judges' verdicts and viewers' votes were combined.
But sadly Victoria, who burst into tears when she was awarded the lowest score on the Strictly leaderboard on Saturday night's show, lost the dance-off.
Craig Revel Horwood chose to save Michael, saying: 'Well this couple completely smashed and I thought they were fantastic – Michael and Natalie.'

Darcey Bussell echoed this thoughts, adding: 'Yes – I am going to save Michael and Natalie.'
Bruno Tonioli also followed suit, voting to send Victoria home: 'I am going to save the best performance – and that came from Michael and Natalie.'
An emotional Victoria then paid special tribute to her professional partner Brendan as she thanked the show for taking her out of her 'comfort zone'.

She said: 'It's been so much fun; I have loved every second of it. It pushed me totally out of my comfort zone which I think you really need to do in life.
'Brendan has been fantastic, the people behind the scenes here – the hair, make up, i love the costumes. It's been a fantastic experience.'
And Brendan added: 'It's been an emotional roller-coaster but I said from the start I was so excited to be paired with Victoria and I haven't changed my mind - she has been a diamond to work with.
