Irish woman Laura Whitmore was the seventh contestant to be voted off Strictly Come Dancing last weekend.

And while the Dubliner  had a thing ot two to say about her exit, her dance partner Giovanni Pernice shared his love for Laura on Twitter.

Taking to the social media network, Gio said: "Thanks for the great journey together.. great partner and a great dancer @thewhitmore and thanks for all your support guys! Love Gio."

Laura took to Instagram over the weekend to let her fans know that she didn't think it was the right time for her to leave.

Writing along a picture of her dressing room door. Laura wrote: "Thank you all for such wonderful comments and support. 

"Didn't feel I was ready to leave, had so much more to show but learned so much from the journey! And the wonderful friends I now have for life."

Do you think Laura should have been booted off the show?
