The comedian and her professional partner Kevin Clifton lost out on a place in the quarter final after they landed in the dreaded dance-off against Alexandra Burke and Gorka Marquez.
Now, the 43-year-old has unfollowed the BBC Strictly Twitter account as she said she can't face looking at it following her departure.
She made the decision yesterday evening but has insisted that the move was simply because of her "sadness at leaving the show".
Susan told her 155,000 followers: "For journos contacting my agent because I unfollowed BBC Strictly twitter account.

"I'm sad about leaving the show and didn't want to get even sadder. I think that's OK. Thanks."
She later went on to respond to a fan who asked if she would still watch the BBC series on Saturday night.
"Of course I am, I love the show," Susan assured the Twitter user. "I just needed a couple of days to get used to not being in it."
While Susan was knocked out of the competition, Alexandra sailed into the next round and is set to perform the Charleston.

Reflecting on why she found herself in the bottom two, the former X Factor singer told Express.co.uk: "These are the things that people on Strictly tell me.
"They always say the Rumba is an awkward dance for the public to watch, because it is so sensual and sexy.
"Maybe they don't engage with the slower ones and think, 'Oh, that's quite lovely'."
Strictly Come Dancing airs Saturday on BBC One at 7.05pm.
