The Hollyoaks actor becomes the tenth celebrity to leave the BBC One competition, following Mark Benton's departure last week.
Ashley Taylor Dawson and Ola Jordan
Taylor Dawson and his partner Ola Jordan found themselves in the bottom two for the second week running, alongside Patrick Robinson and his partner Anya Garnis, after the public votes were combined with last night's judges' scores.
The two couples repeated their dances from Saturday to stay in the competition. Taylor Dawson and Jordan performed a salsa to Gloria Estefan's 'Conga', while Robinson and Garnis performed a rumba to 'When I Was Your Man' by Bruno Mars.
Following the dance-off, the judges delivered their verdicts with Craig Revel Horwood, Darcey Bussell and Bruno Tonioli all choosing to save Robinson.
However, Len Goodman revealed that he would have saved Taylor Dawson, adding that he "totally disagreed" with his fellow judges.
He said: "I totally disagreed with this verdict. For me Ashley and Ola should have been through. I know he [Ashley] missed that last lift, however I'm only judging this one routine.

"If I hadn't had seen it before I wouldn't have known there was going to be a lift there. Plus, the cardinal sin in rumba is stepping forward on the heel.
"There is never a heal lead. Unfortunately on that last routine that we saw, Patrick did many and on that basis I would have 100% gone for you [Ashley]."
Speaking about his time on the show, Taylor Dawson said: "It's just been absolutely amazing, from meeting the crews to make-up and costumes, to judges to all the contestants.
"I've had a fantastic time and of course this lovely lady standing here, it's been an absolute delight. And my amazing fiancé for doing such an incredible job while I've not been there. I'm coming home!"

Asked for his series highlight, he replied: "I think this, the salsa. I've thoroughly enjoyed it. I felt like we threw everything including the kitchen sink into it, so I'm glad we went out on a high."
Jordan added: "I've enjoyed it so much dancing with you Ashley, you're a lovely, lovely guy so good luck with everything you do."
Robinson, Natalie Gumede, Abbey Clancy, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Susanna Reid will now compete in next week's semi-final, where each couple will perform two dances in a bid to reach the final.
