The Radio 1 DJ is the fifth celebrity to leave the contest after losing a dance-off against TV presenter Alison Hammond.
On Saturday night he dressed as Uncle Fester from the TV series The Addams Family for a Foxtrot as the 11 remaining competitors performed Halloween-themed dances.
* Watch all of Scott Mills' Strictly dances - ranked best to worst
Mills landed in the bottom two on Sunday along with Hammond after the judges’ scores were combined with the viewer vote.
Both couples performed their routines again and Craig Revel Horwood, Darcy Bussell and Bruno Tonioli chose to save Hammond and her partner Aljaz Skorjanec.
Revel Horwood said: "I would like to save the couple that threw the kitchen sink at the routine - extra turns and all sorts of wafting. That is Alison and Aljaz."
Bussell said: "The couple I would like to save is also because of its added flourishes in tonight's performance. That is Alison and Aljaz."
Head judge Len Goodman disagreed and said he would have opted to save Mills and his partner Joanne Clifton.
He said: "Had it been left to me, I thought they were both so much fun. They were both dancing the foxtrot so I went for the section which was the foxtrot and in that case, it would have been Scott that I would have saved."
After the verdict was delivered, the 40-year-old radio presenter said Strictly was “the most fun I’ve ever had”.
Referring to his partner, he said: "We've become friends so it's really sweet. It doesn't really end for me here because I'll still see her."
And Clifton - the sister of Frankie Bridge’s partner Kevin Clifton - said her Strictly debut this year was made all the more special because of her celebrity partner.
She enthused: “He's the best partner I could have asked for.
"We've had so much fun and I'm just so proud of him.
“He's come from absolutely nowhere and I think loads of people at home can relate to him - he's got two left feet - but coming out in front of everybody and just performing in front of millions of people each week, I'm so proud of him."
The results show featured a performance from Annie Lennox singing I Put a Spell on You.
He added: "It's something that I never thought I would do and I'm so glad that I said yes to it.”
