It was a tense wait for the stars to find out who was through to next week
Asked how he felt to leave by host Holly Willoughby, Chris joked: “To be honest, I shouldn’t have feng-shuied my caravan today!”
The head to head battle was brought back after fans of the ITV show slammed the Sunday night staple for dropping it.
The first couple that were safe were Charlie Brooks and Brendyn Hatfield, who has stepped in to cover after the soap star’s partner Eric Radford was injured and had to miss a week.
Next to learn they were safe were Dan Edgar and Vanessa James, who got top scores after bravely trying the headbanger tonight.
Joining them were Michaela Strachan and Mark Hanretty, as well as Corrie favourite Sam Aston and Molly Lanaghan.
The final couple going straight through were Traitors star Mollie Pearce and Colin Grafton
That left Anton Ferdinand and Chris to fight for their lives in the skate off, alongside their pro partners Annette Dytrt and Robin Johnstone.
Then it came down to the judges to decide who got sent packing.
Ashley Banjo chose to save Anton and Annette, with Oti Mabuse agreeing.
Christopher Dean also saved Anton and Annette, sealing Chris’s fate.

Jayne Torvill would have had the deciding vote if it was a tie, although on this occasion her vote didn’t change the result.
She revealed, however, that she also would have saved Anton and Annette.
Being axed topped off a rough couple of weeks for Chris.
He was forced to change partners on the show when pro skater Vanessa Bauer was forced to quit after sustaining an injury.
He was then paired with Robin at the last minute, with the pair skating together for the first time on last week’s show.
They had just 24 hours before that live show to train together.
Their second routine together tonight was well received by the judges, but many fans watching at home were unhappy that Anton scored higher.

Anton was the first out of all the celebs to skate this evening and achieved a score of 34 after all four judges delivered marks of 8.5.
Meanwhile,Chris went second and achieved 32 points, leaving some viewers disgruntled.
One wrote on X: “Chris getting lower artistic marks than Anton when Anton’s feedback was full of complaints about his posture is truly baffling.
“It’s never been more obvious than this series that they’ve already decided who they want to go all the way #dancingonice.”
Another said: “Soooo why were Chris scores lower than miserable guts Anton??? #dancingonice.”
A third penned: “In my opinion, the skate scoring 8 across the board was much better than the one scoring 8.5 across the board….I’m getting favourite vibes #dancingonice.”
