Paralympian Jody Cundy became the third celebrity to leave Strictly Come Dancing this weekend after failing to impress the judges.
Jody Cundy says leaving Strictly has been 'pretty hard'
Jody Cundy has spoken about how he feels following his Strictly Come Dancing exit on Sunday night.
Last weekend, BBC viewers watched the 45-year-old perform a Salsa routine with his professional partner Jowita Przystal.
After being awarded a score of 19 from the judging panel, Jody found himself in the dance-off against comedian Eddie Kadi and professional partner Karen Hauer.
In the end, the judges decided to save Eddie which made Jody the third person to leave the competition.
Speaking to host Fluer East on Monday’s instalment of It Takes Two, the constestant revealed how he’s feeling now that he’s out of the competition.
Fleur asked: “Now that the dust has settled, has it finally sunk in?”
Jody replied: “Yeah just a little, I really enjoyed this. Just knowing that I’m not going to be doing it again has been pretty hard.
“But, I’ve had a fun time while we’ve been here.”
Touching on the routine that saw him eliminated from the show, Jody revealed it was good fun to perform.

As Fleur highlighted Rio holds a special place in Jody’s heart after winning two gold medals, she asked whether or not the salsa routine will be added to the collection of memories.
He added: “It was good fun to perform, I had a big smile on my face while I was doing it, so there’s that but obviously we went home off it as well.
“So, it’s not quite got the same ring to it as the golds that I won in Rio.”
Although Jody found himself becoming the fourth star to be eliminated, the other contestants have been impressing the judges with their dances.
Currently, actor Layton Williams is storming ahead on the leaderboard with an impressive score of 37 with professional partner Nikita Kuzmin.
The 29-year-old blew the judges away with his Cha Cha Cha routine on Saturday night, giving him the highest score of the series so far.
Following close behind are Nigel Harman and Katya Jones with a total of 33, however, the leaderboard is set to change once again this weekend as the stars head into week five.
Strictly Come Dancing continues Saturday on BBC One from 6:35pm
