Katie and Gorka performed an American Smooth dressed as Cruella de Vil and dog Pongo from the film Cruella.
The actress stunned in a flowing red dress with black and white wig, and dark eye make-up. She even received a standing ovation from Dame Emma Thompson, who was in the audience supporting her husband Greg Wise.
Katie had found herself in the dance off the previous week, but had been saved over former EastEnders star Nina Wadia.
The judges praised Katie’s number on Saturday night (October 9) saying she had come back from the dance off well. She even received her highest score of 24 points
However, it wasn’t enough and she found herself at the bottom two alongside Judi.
Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas all chose to save Judi, with only Anton going for Katie. The vote meant Katie was sent home.
Katie said: “I’ve loved my time, I’m so happy I got to dance as Cruella with this amazing man.”
Viewers were at loggerheads over whether the right person went home.
One summed up many fans’ thoughts with: “Were the judges watching a different dance off? Katie and Gorka were much the better dancers and should have been saved.”
