how do i remove a contact from the favourites tab of the dialer?

[Windows Central Question]

I was trying to remove a contact that I had added by mistake to the favourites (star) tab of the phone dialer app. However, I am not able to find any way to do that. I tried long pressing the contact but it only allows me to reorder the list not remove the contact. the ellipses at the bottom do not help, there is only a add new contact, voice mail and phone book options there.
This is really frustrating, I am not a new WP user, have been on it since WP7.5 and I still cannot find a way to do this.
This is really a usability fail for MS....
please help.

Thanks in advance.
