Her look consisted of a jersey dress, which she teamed with chunky socks.

Clearly wanting to give her feet a rest after intensive rehearsals, she wore a comfortable looking pair of Nike trainers.

She wrapped up wearing a leather aviator jacket and added a pop of colour with a pretty backpack which had a pink section and flower embellishments.

She made it! Daisy must be feeling rather relieved after finding herself in the dance-off, despite receiving 32 points for her Charleston routine with partner Aljaz Skorjanec

The night before, she understandably appeared in high spirits when she was pictured heading back to her hotel on Sunday, along with the rest of the Strictly cast.

The outing comes as BBC's Strictly continued to trounce it's ITV rival X Factor in the ratings war.

Battle on: The outing comes as BBC's Strictly continued to trounce it's ITV rival X Factor (pictured) in the ratings war with 10.8million peak viewers

Strictly attracted 10.8million peak viewers, compared to X Factor's 6.9million, with an average of 9.08 against 5.9 on Saturday night's show.

Last week, the show's figures dropped from an average of 6.2million viewers, from 5.8million.

And it looks as though the rest of the Strictly contestants were pretty pleased by the show's success as they beamed in front of the camera.

The 71-year-old actress found herself in the bottom two after scoring a lowly 24 points for her Tango to Whatever Lola Wants with Anton Du Beke.

But it was a surprise that she faced model Daisy - who had scored a healthy 32 points on Saturday's show - proving the public vote can be cruel.

After Daisy, and Aljaž Škorjanec danced their Charleston to Happy Feet by Manhattan Rhythm Kings, the judges unanimously voted to save her.

Craig Revel Horwood explained his choice: 'I love both couples for completely different reasons. But for me tonight, for precision, for an improved performance in this particular Dance Off, and finishing on time, the couple I would like to save is Daisy and Aljaž.'

Unlucky: Lesley failed to impress the judges with her Tango to the Gotan Project version of Whatever Lola Wants on Sunday's show

Happy days: Model Daisy Lowe made it through to the next round

Spooky: The pair began in darkness so that only their white gloves and shoes were visible

Darcey Bussell made the same choice: 'Again this is very difficult, I wouldn't want these two couples here at all, and to choose between them is very difficult. But the couple I would like to save on their cleanness and the quality of their dance that stood out to me is Daisy and Aljaž.'

Bruno Tonolini said: 'Well I love both of these girls for many different reasons. They're gorgeous look at them. But I have to really choose the stronger dance on every aspect – technique and performance. And for that reason I am choosing to save Daisy and Aljaž.'

And Head Judge Len Goodman agreed with his colleagues, saying: 'I did agree. I would have saved Daisy and Aljaž.'

Seeing red: Lesley was in bottom two and looked very disappointed when it was announced

Joy: Danny Mac made it though to the next round and was delighted

Disbelief: Anastacia was given a new lease of life with her new partner Gorka

Delight: Louise Redknapp - who used to be a judge on the BBC's So You Think You Can Dance - was chuffed to make it through

How have we done that? Greg couldn't believe he got through after his poor performance

Relief: Ore Oduba was very grateful to be heading to next week

When asked by Tess what her highlight had been, Lesley said; 'Learning a new dance every week has just been lovely, working with him (Anton) has been an absolute joy and we've laughed a lot. And yeah it's been just a lovely lovely lovely journey and it's come to an end and that's absolutely fine. We've loved it.

An emotional Anton said: 'I would just like to say thank you very much, you enriched my whole Strictly experience this year. Dancing with you has been an absolute joy. You pushed me, I don't know about me pushing you, you pushed me to try and be more creative and make the numbers better and that's just down to you and you're just an absolute joy. And I love you dearly.'
