Jonnie Peacock is the latest to leave Strictly Come Dancing

Paralympian Jonnie Peacock is the latest celebrity to leave Strictly Come Dancing.

The sprinter, 24, and his professional partner Oti Mabuse were the eighth couple voted off following a dance-off with Debbie McGee and Giovanni Pernice.

Many viewers were shocked to see McGee in the dance-off, having been one of the favourites to win the show since her impressive performance in Week One.

Peacock said: "I think it's been an absolute honour to be the first disabled person and I just want to thank each and every one of you for judging me as an equal.

"That's what I want. You can criticise me; I want that criticism. I think that's fantastic and hopefully it's paved the way for more people to come through - and I think they may be able to tuck their bum under a little bit better than me."
