Rhys and Nancy performed the Samba but it wasn't enough to save them.
The Strictly judges faced a tough decision with Craig Revel Horwood commenting, 'In all the years I’ve been doing the show since 2004, I really do not want to make this decision tonight. This has been one of the most amazing dance offs I’ve ever witnessed. Both couples are equal and both couples deserve to go through and I just want to put both couples through.'
Reflecting on his time in the competition Rhys said, “I might not have gotten to the final but I learnt so much from just being on this show, from everyone here who’s just supported us in this new family.”
