Unfortunately for Jody Cundy CBE, he became the third celebrity to depart the dance floor on Strictly Come Dancing.
He and his dance partner Jowita Przystal performed their Salsa to Samba de Janeiro by Bellini while Eddie Kadi and Karen Hauer performed their American Smooth to Sex Bomb by Tom Jones again.
Both celebrities were hopeful they could impress the judges and be saved.
All four judges unanimously voted to save Eddie, with Anton Du Beke pointing out he was stronger in the dance off.
He explained: "Well based on the dance off and the dance off only, I thought one couple danced very well and one couple had a bit of an off night, there were a couple of mistakes there so I would like to save Eddie and Karen.”
Motsi Mabuse agreed: "For me it was a very clear decision, one couple was much, much stronger. I would love to save Eddie and Karen.”
Craig Revel Horwood added: "For improvement and musicality I would like to save Eddie and Karen.”
With three votes, Eddie was saved and head judge Shirley Ballas agreed with the decision as she would have also saved the radio star.
This meant last year's Strictly Come Dancing champion was out of the competition and Jody would not progress to week five.
Speaking about his time on the show, Jody said: "You know what, when I signed up for this I thought what an earth am I signing up for and we did that first live show and I absolutely loved every second of it.
"And just being able to dance and do something I've never done before and get completely out of my comfort zone and with this amazing person.
"This person's got so much energy, every morning like 9 O'clock we've got, start of training and she's like BAMMM, like this, she comes into the room like an absolute cannonball and she just doesn't stop the whole day.
"And she doesn't lose any faith, doesn't lose anything, motivates me on to do more and more. So I've had an absolute blast."
Asked if she had any words for her partner, Jowita commented: "I cannot even describe how proud I am of you Jody, cause from Day 1 till now, it's enormous improvement.
"And I hope from now on, when you go out, when you hear the music, you're not going to hide anywhere. You're going to go on that dance floor and you're going to give it all.
"And I hope, one day when you look back at all of this, you will say to yourself I'm proud of myself, because that will be my biggest achievement."
Strictly Come Dancing returns on Saturday at 6.35pm on BBC One.
