Montell finally fell foul of the dance-off on Sunday night, as she became the tenth celebrity to be sent packing from Strictly Come Dancing during Musicals Week.
The Gladiators star, 38, and her professional partner Johannes Radebe landed in the bottom two of the public vote for the third week in a row, up against Tasha and Aljaž.
First to take to the floor, Montell and Johannes performed their Rumba to I’m Here from the musical The Color Purple, followed by Tasha and Aljaž’s Argentine Tango to Ex-Wives from Six.
After both couples had danced their hardest, it was down to the judges to deliver their verdicts with Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke all choosing to save Tasha and Aljaž.
While head judge Shirley Ballas agreed with her fellow judges, and said that she would have also decided to send Montell and Johannes home.
Despite narrowly missing out on a place in the semi-finals, Montell gushed about her experience on the show, as she described how her confidence had grown, while Johannes had become her ‘friend and brother’.
