The YouTuber and her professional partner AJ Pritchard found themselves in the bottom two with actor Karim Zeroual and Amy Dowden.
All four judges – Shirley Ballas, Bruno Tonioli, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse – chose to save Zeroual and Dowden.
This weekend six remaining celebrity couples took to the dance floor for Strictly’s tenth live show, having returned to Elstree after last week’s Blackpool special.
Barker’s last performance was a Samba to “Walking On Sunshine” by Take Me To Rio Collective.
She said: “I’ve had the absolute time of my life and it’s all down to him. It’s been amazing. I’d like to thank AJ so much, when I look at what I was like on week one I was so embarrassed and shy. He’s really taken me out of my shell. Thank you so much for everything.”
Sunday’s results show opened with a special performance from opera star Andrea Bocelli.
The remaining five couples will compete next week when Strictly Come Dancing returns for the musical special on Saturday 30 November at 7.10pm on BBC1.
