The judging panel, consisting of Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, Ashley Banjo, Oti Mabuse and guest judge Arlene Phillips, decided to save Siva.
Darren spoke out in his exit interview with the presenters, admitting: "I've lasted a lot longer than I expected, I thought I'd be out before I even started! I've had such a fun time, thank you so much. I've never met anyone like [professional partner] Tippy [Packard], she's been full of enthusiasm for everything."
