Mark's samba to 'I Just Can't Wait To Be King' from 'The Lion King' failed to convince any of the judges that he should be saved, as they all opted to keep Ashley in the competition.
Looking back on his run on the BBC One show, Mark said: "What a time I have had. I've got to say thank you to my dear friend and fantastic teacher Iveta, she is amazing.
"I also want to thank my amazing wife and children, the backstage guys, the beautiful band, the judges. They are all amazing. I have had a ball."
Iveta commented: "This is my first season and Mark made it so special and memorable. I enjoyed every minute with him, he made me laugh.
"I taught him dance and he taught me many more things than that. He is my family."
