Denise Welch has become the eleventh star to leave this year's Dancing On Ice.
The Loose Women favourite finished in the bottom two alongside Johnson Beharry when judges' scores and viewer votes were combined, despite having had her initial points doubled after winning the team challenge with Laura Hamilton and Jeff Brazier earlier tonight.
When quizzed about her lack of support, Welch quipped: "Well, it was bound to happen at some point, wasn't it? Whatever the outcome, I've had the most fantastic time. It's been the experience of a lifetime."
Following the completion of the skate-off, judges Emma Bunton, Robin Cousins and Jason Gardiner all opted to save Beharry, who had received his highest score of the series yet from the panel in tonight's show.
During the vote, Bunton branded Johnson as "a smoother performer", while Cousins commented that the army hero "had that extra little something and determination".
The result revealed, Welch thanked the public for continuing to back her and bid farewell to her fellow contestants, who she described as "wonderful pals".
She told hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby: "I never in a million years thought I would get to this stage. I'm knackered, I've had the most wonderful time... you haven't seen the last of me yet."
Dancing On Ice returns next Sunday at 7.10pm on ITV1.

Jeff Brazier has become the next celebrity to leave Dancing On Ice 2011.
The presenter finished in the bottom two with Sam Attwater after judges' scores and viewer votes for their 'Prop Week' performances were combined. Both appeared to lose support after fumbling with their allocated items in tonight's earlier routines.
The pair then did battle in a much-improved skate-off, after which a relieved Brazier stated: "If I have to go out on a performance like that I'll hold my hands up, 'cause that was my best."
However, the judging panel unanimously gave their approval to Attwater, with Emma Bunton noting that the ex-EastEnders actor had given a "fantastic second performance", and Jason Gardiner asserting that Brazier's display simply "wasn't enough".
Despite opting to let Brazier leave the competition, fellow judge Robin Cousins praised the 31-year-old for taking his performance "to another level", while Bunton revealed that she "would have loved to see both" of the bottom two in next week's semi-final.
When quizzed by hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby about what went wrong for him this week, Brazier jested: "I'm gonna blame it on the Swedish '70s roll-neck I had on."
He added: "I feel like I'm grateful to have had the opportunity and to have gotten so far amongst so many great people.
"I've enjoyed my time on Dancing On Ice, and honestly it's great and I'm gonna keep up the skating."
He then turned to professional partner Isabelle Gauthier and said: "Thanks for putting up with me for six months."
The show's mentors Christopher Dean and Jayne Torvill bid a final farewell to Brazier, where they praised the Essex-born star's extraordinary progress throughout the competition.
Dean concluded: "We've watched him grow and come along so far and [seen] how strong he's been in his lifts, his skating and his personality. He's grown so much."
Dancing On Ice returns next Sunday at 6.40pm on ITV1, with "the hardest challenge" that any contestants have ever faced.

Sam Attwater has suggested that he might skate naked this Sunday as part of the latest Dancing On Ice twist. :eek:
After last night's show, the final celebrity skaters were informed by Torvill and Dean that for the semi-finals they would be performing alone and choreographing their own routines.
Host Phillip Schofield revealed on This Morning that Attwater's first reaction to the news was an offer to bare all on the ice.
"Sam said that he wants to go out there and skate naked because it will distract everyone," said Schofield.
Eliminated contestant Jeff Brazier said that he is a fan of the latest twist on the show, arguing that it would be "extra rewarding" for anyone who makes it through to the final off the back of their own routine.

:eek: :D
eugh.. I don't want to see Sam naked...
Would love to see Chloe and Laura in the final
I think they're maybe an upset this week. Sam going out and Johnstone making it too the final with Chloe and Laura.
Johnson Beharry has just missed out on a place in the Dancing On Ice final.
The army hero became the 13th contestant booted from the figure skating show, after finishing in the bottom two with Chloe Madeley when public votes and judges' scores were combined.
After a final skate-off, hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby threw the vote over to judges Robin Cousins, Jason Gardiner and Emma Bunton. All three chose to spare Madeley, who tripped over during her earlier routine, but praised Beharry for his sensational progress throughout the show.
Cousins congratulated Beharry for making the semi-finals, while Gardiner noted that the former soldier had come "an incredibly long way", before expressing his desire for a "final that we can be proud of".
Bunton concluded the vote by calling Johnson an "inspiration" for performing a solo routine in tonight's show, given that months ago he was unable to even stand up on the ice.
His fate sealed, Johnson stepped out of the rink for his exit interview to a rapturous round of applause from the studio audience.
"[There's] no need to be sad," he told the crowd. "I had loads of fun. I had [the] time of my life."
He proceeded to thank the members of the Dancing On Ice team for helping him recover from horrific injuries sustained in the war zone.
"They actually helped me so much, words cant describe how much they held me," he said. "It's amazing."
Beharry's tearful partner Jodeyne Higgins was also quick to express her fondness for the star, stating: "This entire journey has been absolutely incredible, and every moment I've been out there on the ice with this man has been inspirational."
Madeley, Sam Attwater and Laura Hamilton will compete for the Dancing On Ice trophy in next Sunday's final, which airs at 7.40pm on ITV1.

It was right that Johnson went he was the weakest of the four. Still he has had a massive journey considering he couldn't even stand on ice at the begining of training. Poor Chloe she was gutted when they fell last night.
I hope Laura wins now
