Singer and all-round nice guy Peter Andre became the ninth celebrity to be voted off Strictly Come Dancing – but everyone was STILL talking about Jamelia.

Peter and partner Janette Manrara faced Kellie Bright and her partner Kevin Clifton in the dance-off, but his much-improved American smooth could not save him from leaving the competition.

Strictly faced a barrage of criticism this week after singer Jamelia, who faced Peter in last Sunday’s dance-off, claimed her rival’s standing ovation had been pre-recorded.

With allegations of fixing overshadowing the show, viewers were relieved when the judges explained exactly why they were all sending home Peter.

And everyone wanted to know what Jamelia was thinking.

Many felt Peter Andre was the victim of this bad publicity.

But the singer and his partner bowed out with grace and dignity.

And it seems the much-loved pair will be missed on the show.

He’ll be alright though, we’re sure.
