Rosemary Conley has become the sixth celebrity to be eliminated from Dancing On Ice. 

The 64-year-old was shown the door after failing to impress with her Valentine's Day routine.

The diet queen found herself in the bottom two alongside Chemmy Alcott when judges' scores and viewer votes were combined.

After the skate-off, the panel of Head Judge Robin Cousins, Louie Spence and Katarina Witt praised both stars but ultimately unanimously elected to save Alcott.

In her leaving interview, the fitness guru told hosts Phillip Schofield and Christine Bleakley that she had found a "new best friend" in her professional partner Mark Hanretty:

"I've loved every second and this young man is a new best friend in my life. He's brought the best out for me.

"I just want to thank you for being the best coach and nicest person that God put on this earth."

Turning to show mentors Torvill and Dean, she continued:

"They are such an inspiration and I don't think people at home realise how much you do to make the show how it is, because you are both legends."

Last nightÂ’s show also saw actress Jennifer Ellison cut open her head with her skate as she performed a difficult routine.

Dancing On Ice continues on ITV1 on Sunday 19 February at 6.05pm.
